Here’s a 1984 vintage ad for the Converse Fastbreak basketball shoes featuring Isiah Thomas.

A LIGHTWEIGHT FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT.
The Converse Fastbreak. It’s easy to see why top pros like Isiah Thomas wear it. It's designed with a super lightweight nylon/leather upper that has the kind of support you'll find in full leather uppers. But it weighs a lot less. Plus, we designed the Converse Fastbreak the way we design all our athletic shoes. By working with top athletes and coming up with improved biomechanical designs to satisfy their needs. Which is the reason a shoe as light as the Converse Fastbreak carries so much weight with the pros.
