Bode has entered the footwear scene with its best foot forward with its take on the Nike Astrograbber . Debuting the retro in two tasteful colourways, one of which is this "Black Coconut Milk", the collaboration that seamlessly merges Bode's distinctive design approach with Nike's ‘80s American football silhouette. While not a ‘classic’ or ‘icon’ as some have suggested, the Astrograbber perfectly embodies the sporty retro aesthetic which currently dominates the shelves today.
This limited-edition sneaker features a full-grain leather upper, ready for all the creases and charmful ageing that will make this shoe your own. Elegantly complemented by coconut milk-coloured Swooshes along the sidewall as well as the set of thin laces threaded throughout the eyelets, this pair lends well to being dressed both up and down. A bode script logo on the tongue patch takes the place of the usual Nike ‘70s era logo, which is no small feat considering this is the brand’s first partnership.
On the back lays a suede heel patch for withstanding any wear and tear, given the aggressive lugs that make these suitable for clambering across almost any terrain. Nike have stated that these do fit half a size small, so it is worth considering going up half a size from your usual UK size. Similar to the “ Light Cream Black ” edition, these also arrive with extra lace charms in case you feel like adding a bit extra style to your pair.
Dropping on the 1st of May 2024 via the Nike SNKRS app and select UK retailers for the price of £145, be sure to set up a notification reminder. You can find out where to pick up the Bode x Nike Astrograbber "Black Coconut Milk" by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
