Late 70s Saucony Gripper vintage sneaker ad

We’re closing out the Saucony ads with another old school vintage ad for the Saucony Gripper sneakers from around 77-78.

Ad info is below:

When Greg Yutko gets into The Gripper, he has everything going for him except the big-name price tag.

Greg Yutko is a serious runner. He runs 15 miles every day, participates in over 30 long-distance road races and 4 marathon events every year. His training shoe is The Gripper by Saucony.

"Try it on and you'll see," says Greg. He likes The Gripper for its soft, comfortably padded interior, and nylon uppers that breathe. The exclusive Saucony Studsole and shock-absorbing heel wedge combine to minimize knee stress and lower leg strain.

As proprietor of Greg's Running Shop in St. Clair, Pa., he rates The Gripper superior to the big-name models. "Because I train in it myself, I can sell it with confidence to the serious runner." He likes the low price, too. "Any runner can afford it." Look for The Gripper at your running shop or sporting goods store.

Saucony Gripper 1970s vintage sneaker ad

Today we've got an old school vintage ad for the Saucony Gripper sneakers from around 1977-78. 👟🔥

Saucony Rod Dixon trainers vintage ad

Here's an old Saucony 1985 vintage ad for the Dixon trainers featuring New Zealander and NYC marathon winner Rod Dixon. The shoe featured the "Dixon Mattress" and the "Dixon Window." According to this ad the "Dixon Mattress" was an EVA midsole wedge that had tiny holes drilled in it for extra cushioning on impact. The "Dixon Window" was a collapsible backtab that would relieve nagging tension on your Achilles tendon over long runs. There was also a "supersoft protective insert under the metatarsal" (where the red stripe is) was supposed to provide a springy trampoline effect. Saucony still makes these shoes as the DXN trainer.

​Ad info is below:

Rod Dixon wasn't satisfied until we put a mattress, a window and a trampoline in these shoes. 

Before Rod Dixon let us put his name on these trainers, he took them for a run. And another. And another. And he came back with a few suggestions. First, he said, how about an EVA midsole wedge with tiny holes drilled in it. For extra cushioning on impact. We suggested the name Dixon Mattress. He said that would be just fine. Then, Rod said, how about a feature in the backtab that would relieve nagging tension on your Achilles tendon over long runs. We designed a collapsible backtab, suggested the name Dixon Window, and Rod said that would be just fine. Then, he said, it sure would be nice to build in a trampoline effect that adds spring during the toeing-off phase. Perhaps, he went on, a supersoft protective insert under the metatarsal head coupled with a flatter outsole. We agreed that would be just fine. Now, Rod Dixon is a world class runner. A New York Marathon winner. And a tough customer to satisfy. So when he said our Dixon Trainers were good enough to wear his name—that was good enough for us. Just one question remains: Are they good enough for you?

Saucony Trainer 1980 vintage sneaker ad

Here's a Saucony 1979 ad for the 'Trainer 1980' featuring Edwin Roberts who is an Olympic medalist and was the track coach at Temple University.

Saucony's new Trainer 1980 exposes the secret to comfort

Look under the sock liner There's nothing there but soft foam. We've eliminated the insole board to make a shoe that guarantees carpet-cushioned running ease. Trainer 1980 is the only training shoe made this way . . . with increased cushioning, but lighter in weight than any other. And it's hand-crafted on a last designed primarily for elite-class runners.

Saucony's grip-fit counter, contoured nylon uppers, flared heel and mid-sole, and wider toe box position the foot firmly over a Nora-Tuff° sole that's more durable and diffuses shock more effectively. So if you're looking forward to miles and miles of no-stress training .. . get just the right combination of lightweight comfort and durable support. Try on Saucony's new Trainer 1980 at your running shop or sporting goods store. You'll feel the difference. On your feet and in your pocket.
