This double feature blog post goes out to all of the ladies playing under the table games. The ads below were made 7 years apart and more than anything this probably speaks to the cyclical nature of advertising.
We’ll kick it off in 1973 with a vintage sneaker ad featuring the Converse Coach and Jack Purcell model sneakers.
7 years later she was back playing foot games in this ad featuring Puma’s Power Cat and Fast Rider runners…
In 2020 she is likely now at a retirement home playing footsies with someones Hush Puppies sporting granddad .🤣

Converse Coach and Jack Purcell: For guys who want to keep playing after the game is over.
Converse has built a reputation for making great athletic shoes for the greatest athletes in the world. And that's the idea behind our Converse Coach and Jack Purcell. Great performers. But they look great, too. A terrific all-around athletic shoe like Coach (right), that looks good enough to play the field off the field, too. And a great tennis shoe like Jack Purcell, that feels just as at home partying as playing tennis. Two tough-playing, sharp-looking leisure time shoes from Converse. Because some guys are out to build a reputation for themselves. Converse Coach and Jack Purcell.
