Nike Astro Grabber Trainers - Leather - Beige - Orange - UK 9.5

The rubber waffle outsole was specifically designed to provide superior grip and traction on the artificial turf surfaces common in American football during the 1970s, reducing slippage.

The Astro Grabber is designed for the specific demands of field sports like football, focusing on agility and grip. They are not optimized for long-distance running, which requires different cushioning and support.

Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

While the grip is enhanced on turf, very wet conditions might reduce traction. The suede material is also sensitive to excessive moisture. It's best to use them in dry to moderately damp conditions and clean them promptly if they get wet.

The original Nike Astro Grabber trainers were released in 1974.

This specific model is available in Beige and Orange. Other colorways and sizes, including different UK sizes for men, may be available under the Astro Grabber series.

The Astro Grabber's grip is optimized for drier turf conditions. For very wet surfaces, consider alternative footwear with deeper studs if available.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely before wearing.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Minor snugness can sometimes be resolved with light wear. For significant discomfort, consider if a different size from the available range (e.g., UK 9, UK 10) would be more appropriate.
