TLDR: The Nike Astrograbber ‘Aluminium’ is making a comeback on 25 July 2025. With a cleat-inspired outsole, clean vintage look and a nod to Bowerman's Gridiron roots, it is available for €130. Almost 50 years after its debut, Nike is bringing back the underrated classic from 1974. The Astrograbber was originally developed for AstroTurf football fields. With its functional retro vibe and cleat-like sole, it fits perfectly into the current wave of sporty archive releases.
The reissued Astrograbber ‘Aluminium/Soft Yellow’ stays true to its DNA: a smooth suede upper in aluminium grey, combined with a soft yellow Swoosh and matching yellow and white laces. The cleat-inspired rectangular outsole evokes feelings of nostalgia and gives the design real depth of character. The subtle branding on the tongue and heel underlines the honest retro look without appearing exaggerated.
With the Astrograbber, Nike is specifically addressing the increased demand for soccer and football-inspired silhouettes – not least with a view to the 2026 World Cup: earlier releases such as the Field General and collaborations with Bode have paved the way, and now the Astrograbber is finally available to the general public.
