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.
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)
