Fayva Olympians 1979 Vintage Tennis Running Shoes Sneakers Print Ad

Here’s an old school vintage 1970s sneaker ad for Fayva featuring their Olympians branded sneakers and another pair of non-adidas 3 stripe logo’ed sneakers. Fayva was a mall based shoe store similar to Kinney or Thom McAn. The Fayva logo on the shoe below appears to have been knocked off recently by the women’s brand Tory Burch. (see below)

Until now, buying high performance sport shoes meant footing a big bill.

Introducing Fayva Olympians

High performance sport shoes priced from $11.90 to $25.90.

It takes a lot less money to impress your feet than your friends. Fayva Olympians prove that. Because all Olympians are constructed for maximum comfort and performance. Like when your feet are taking a pounding up and down the court. You need all-leather high or low cut basketball shoes with traction soles and stitched outsoles. Or running shoes engineered for lightness and flexibility when you're going the distance in a marathon. Made of nylon and suede, with a super shock absorbing sole, flanged for lateral stability.

And tennis shoes made of full grain leather with fully padded collars and insoles, arch supports and stitched outsoles to take the punishment of stopping, sprinting, twisting and turning. Fayva Olympians give you all this, at a sporting price. So, next time you want to impress your friends, impress them with your performance in Olympians from Fayva.

Pre-Nike Blue Ribbon Sports asics Tiger 1967 three stripe vintage sneakers

Here’s an old school ad from 1967 for the TG-4 nylon Marathon shoe by Tiger. This ad is from way back when Nike co-founder was Tiger’s main distributor in the United States and probably the only time that he ever sold a sneaker donning a 3 striped logo.

This original print in a 1967 Track and Field News magazine is available over at RewindRunning.com.

Vintage Koby's 3 stripe sneakers commercial from 1981

Nope, not adidas. Last year we posted a vintage commercial for Koby’s vintage shoe shop. Here’s a second ad for the same store featuring $6.44 faux 3 stripe adidas sneakers.

adidas Nite Jogger 1977 vintage sneaker ad featuring Cangoran

Here’s a 1977 ad for adidas Nite Jogger running shoes that used Cangoran which was a synthetic leather. We posted another ad for the adidas Falcon model which used the same materials.

Ad info is below:

Cangoran- one less worry for 20 million Kangaroos.

Kangaroos tended to avoid shoe factories in the past. 'They knew that until recently Kangaroo leather was favored, particularly for athletic footwear. But now an entirely synthetic leather-like material has been developed: — Cangoran. A material that is preferred by leading athletes due to its remarkable properties. For our bouncing friends, a healthy turn of events

The Nite Jogger, a revolutionary road runner from adidas, is just one of the high performance shoes made from Cangoran, providing the following distinct advantages:
• Highly absorbent and breathes well. Foot keeps cool and dry.
• Forms to fool in no time and remains soft and flexible.
• Very light and yet surprisingly hardwearing.
• Actifresh' treatment of Cangoran' safeguards against odor.

Nite Jogger

To spot adidas Cangoran shoes look for the happy Kangaroos.

Sears The Winner II 1978 three stripe sneaker ad

Nope, not adidas. We’ve covered the Sears Winner and Winner II lines in the past and you can see a bunch of old Sears sneaker ads here. The Sears Winner line of sneakers confusingly bounced back and forth between 3 and 4 stripe logos and from what we have seen it probably had to do with these sneakers being manufactured by both Converse and adidas at different points in time. The skateboard in this ad was called the Hobie ‘Hotdogger’ and this ad is from 1978.

Converse Pacers 1970 3 stripe vintage sneakers ad

A while back I alluded to the many 3 stripe brands of the 1970s and 80s. Today we're going way, way back to 1970 when Converse was the three stripe brand… or at least one of them. These rare sneakers were made with Clarino which is a synthetic leather material and is still used in athletic shoes 50 years later.

Ad info is below:

Converse Pacers that play hard talk it up for Clarino.

I'm the 'Pacer,' an all-purpose athletic shoe made by Converse. Made with Clarino, a remarkable new shoe material that a shoe can appreciate. I know what it's like to get buried in mud up to the eyelets on a wet, sloppy ballfield. And how easy it is to get battered and bruised, even in a 'touch' foot-ball game with the kids. And while jogging may be a great way for a guy to keep in shape, it can make his shoes look old long before their time. Unless they're made with Clarino. Clarino won't crack or peel, no matter how hard the going. It ignores the weather. It wipes clean with a swipe of a cloth. It breaks in with the first step and conforms to your every movement perfectly. And what a baseball wouldn't give to resist scuffs and scratches the way Clarino does! And since I never look like I've seen any action, you can wear me with slacks and a sports jacket. Clarino. The new man-made shoe material that has all us Converse Pacers talking. And other shoes, too.
