All Brooks VANTAGE models feature:

Reinforced Racing Stud Sole*. The outside heel strike area of the sole has been built-up to increase wearability and special racing studs afford increased traction.

Perforated Mid-Sole with scientifically aligned perforations that greatly increase both the shock absorption and flexibility characteristics while decreasing weight.

Soft Support System with Heel Cup is designed to seat the heel in the shoe for increased comfort and better control while also cushioning the metatarsal heads at toe off. Compression forms the Soft Support System materials to provide continued positive f it.

Varus Wedge*, a mid-sole wedge which is approximately 3 to 4 degrees thicker at the inner portion of the heel to equalize the force of heel contact or foot strike. This permits even distribution of impact shock while lessening abnormal pronation of the foot.

At Brooks it's how you rate our shoes that counts!

Brooks 1979 Vantage Supreme vintage sneaker ad

Here’s a 1979 vintage sneaker ad for the Brooks Vantage Supreme.

Ad info is below:

Its like flying.

It's like flying. Like skimming the earth. Barely touching down. It's like soaring. With a fresh breeze at your back and the whole world in front of you. It's the sweet taste of cool air in your lungs. The crunch of country gravel. The swishing sound of hot concrete as it melts away under your feet. It's a shoe so light you barely know it's on. A shoe that hugs your heel and cushions every footfall. A shoe that meets the earth squarely and evenly as it propels you steadily along. It's the Brooks feeling. The Brooks Sensation. Sensational.

The Vantage Supreme Features:
Perforated Midsole. Scientifically designed perforation pattern flexes naturally with your foot and protects delicate metatarsals.

Custom Contour Insole. Molds to your foot as you run for custom fit at heel and arch.

Varus Wedge:TM* 4° midsole wedge reduces twisting of the foot and lessens heel impact to help prevent foot, ankle, knee, and back problems.

Reinforced Racing Stud Sole.* Cushions every footfall and dissipates road shock. Reinforced heel extends sole life.
