Nope, not adidas. Today we've got and old school 1970 black and white 3 stripe vintage sneaker ad from Sears and this line was called "Jeepers." The sneakers were a bargain but they'd only give you laces long enough to get up to the 4th hole.
Yesterday we posted a vintage 1970s ad for Bob Wolf brand sneakers. Here’s a scan of the Bob Wolf 1978 - 1979 catalog featuring their 4 stripe 'Super Pro' jogging, trainer and USA shoes. This brand hailed from Southern California in both Garden Grove and Huntington Beach and the best timeline we’ve got for them is from around 1976 to the mid 1980s. They also made roller skates and bowling shoes.
UPDATE: We just posted these men’s size 11 Bob Wolf vintage sneakers for sale over at our Rewind Running shop.
