my osagas keep me moving.

I don’t need a famous athlete to tell me that my shoes will last longer and my feet will feel better.

My Osagas wear longer on the streets than ANY other running shoe… and on the streets is where I run. Every morning.

My Osagas keep me moving because they wear longer and my feet feel better.

Try a pair yourself…you’ll see.

Osaga KT-26 1979 vintage running shoes ad for the human race

Here’s an old school ad from 1979 for the Osaga KT-26 model running shoes. These shoes featured bio-kinetic construction and Kinetic levers.

Ad info is below:

the KT-26
the answer to your running demands

One of the biggest hazards of running is shock impact on the foot. The bio-kinetic construction of the KT-26 dissipates shock upon impact, deflecting it away from the foot and leg. Kinetic levers spread upon impact absorbing the shock and forcing it outward. Part of the absorbed shock, however, is stored in the levers and then released during the flow of ground contact, springing the runner forward. This is the principle of kinetic response. The levers are designed at an angle which causes them to lie parallel to the ground at the peak compression point, providing maximum stability. The center section of the levers is slightly offset to the outside of the heel for optimum benefit during the early portion of heel strike. The sole will conform to irregular surface areas providing excellent traction. Additional reinforcement is built up between the levers on the inside shoulder of the heel area to minimize ankle proncrtion and maximize sole life. The KT-26 is the running shoe designed for you, to help you run farther, safer.

Osaga 1979 Feather and Caliente vintage sneaker ad

Here’s an old school ad for the 1979 Osaga Feather and Caliente models. Osaga was an early regional rival of Nike in Oregon and there is a longer history on Osaga running shoes here.

Ad info is below:

we just improved two great shoes… three ways

At Osaga we're never satisfied. As excited as we are about the Runner's World four-star rating of the Caliente and Feather, we knew we could do even better and we have. The Caliente for men and the Feather for women . . . running stronger. Check out these great improvements . . . but, remember, you'll have to feel them because they can't be seen. Improved flexibility . . . revised midsole construction for foot movement and superior cushioning qualities. Stronger heel counter . . . improved support to offset ankle pronation. Lighter ... significant reduction in overall weight.
