Matt Varga We’re still early into the Nike Astrograbber story, having earnestly stepped back into the fold with a Bode collaborative streak spread over the past year and change. Likely aiming at the same slim-soled, simply constructed market share that the Field General had circled, we’ve so far seen two-tone GR colorways hit the net to date. However, perhaps more experimental fare is on the way, as a romantic version is afoot with the Nike Astrograbber “Gym Red.”
We’ll state the obvious up front: despite when these official images are rearing their head, in a vacuum, all signs would point to this being a Valentine’s Day drop. The soft velvet exteriors and rosy overall colorway stamp that from first glance, but even the finer details continue that atmosphere — from delicate studs dotting the profile to a 3D rose planted on the tongue. It’s not out of the question for Nike’s holiday-themed fare to be slightly inexact with its timing, but being so far removed from the February date is a bit beyond the pale. Even without those ties, this displays the versatility that the silhouette has in terms of texture, potentially a jumping-off point as Beaverton plots the silhouette’s next steps.
The Nike Astrograbber “Gym Red” doesn’t carry a concrete release date. Expect it to populate Nike.com and partnering retailers in the coming months, likely carrying a slight premium over the model’s usual $135 MSRP.
