Description

Original 1978 Nike Astro Grabber | Size 11
The Astro Grabber, one of Nike's earliest models, is a football shoe with a waffle outsole made specifically for playing on astroturf and was designed to improve grip and traction on astroturf. It was designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman and worn by NFL Hall of Famer Dan Fouts, who had input on the development of the Astro Grabber and was one of Nike's first endorsers. When Fouts was a quarterback at the University of Oregon, where Bowerman coached track, the football team received specialized turf shoes directly from the Nike co-founder. Waffle soles are labeled with US patent 3793750 for the waffle nubs on the outsoles.
