As part of the look book Bode released for their Fall 2024 Ready-to-Wear collection, savvy fashion folks noticed an as yet unannounced collaboration. A number of the models were wearing a pair of black and white Nike sneakers known as the Astro Grabber.
The shoe was designed by Nike Co-Founder Bill Bowerman and is known to be one of the earliest models released back in the ’70s, and has yet to be re-released. This definitely fits the bill for what Emily Bode does, and the places she finds inspiration. It also ties neatly into Nike’s continued strategy of collaborating with smaller fashion brands, similar to what they did with Jacquemus last June. So far, nothing has been announced, but I will be buying these whenever they drop.
