"On paper, the success of an archival Nike sneaker made over by Emily Bode Aujla's cult label Bode seemed like a forgone conclusion. But even with a decades-long history of churning out killer collabs, no one could have predicted the pure fervor around Astrograbber. The original Astrograbber revival, a clean monochrome pack featuring luxe leather and shoe charms, sold out in mere seconds, with follow-up colorways similarly disappearing in the blink of an eye."
"Now, the Astrograbber is returning, this time for the masses. The spiritual successor to the iconic Waffle Trainer has earned itself a trio of general release colorways; with less fanfare than one might expect for a launch nearly half a century in the making, Nike quietly dropped the pack of pastoral-hued kicks on their SNKRS platform on Tuesday. The trio of Nike Astrograbber sneakers retail at $135 (significantly less than what you'll currently pay for the original Bode collab)"
The Astrograbber, an archival Nike sneaker revived previously in a high-demand Bode collaboration, is receiving a general release in three new colorways. Nike quietly dropped pastoral-hued options—Soft Yellow/Black, Aluminum/Soft Yellow, and Fir/Phantom—on its SNKRS platform. The new iteration retains the original's torpedo-like silhouette, micro-lug waffle outsole, and heritage branding while upgrading to a premium nubuck leather upper. Originally released in the 1970s as a turf alternative to the Waffle sole, the sneaker now retails at $135. The general-release pricing and availability may still prompt rapid sellouts similar to the Bode collaboration.
