Specs Innsbruck 1980 FAT BOTTOM vintage sneaker ad

Here's an 1980 vintage ad by PRO-SPECS for their Innsbruck Fat Bottom sneaker. This original Pro-Specs vintage advertisement is available at our RewindRunning.com web store.

​Ad info is below:

FAT BOTTOM 

THE 5-STAR SPECS INNSBRUCK: 

The sole is fat to make it soak up shock. It's foam to make it flexible and light. 

One look at Fat Bottom and you can see that the Specs Innsbruck is a. running shoe with a real difference. 

The Fat Bottom. 

The Innsbruck sits on the exclusive Specs Polyflex outsole: a fat, flexible, lightweight shock absorber of Mobay Bayflex®Polyurethane. Add the bounce-back cushioning of our perforated Poron® insole and you've got a shoe that is remarkably comfortable, extremely supportive, and delight-fully flexible and light. 

1st in Flexibility.

1st in Durability.

For sheer performance, Fat Bottom is state-of-the-art. Among all men's training flats tested in the rigorous 1980 Runner's World Shoe Survey, it ranked Number One in both Flexibility and Sole Wear. And rated 5 Stars overall. Hefty praise for the new Fat Bottom. 

You might expect to pay more for a shoe that out-performs and outwears such tough, talented competition. But thanks to its revolutionary simplicity of design- and the Specs commitment to real quality at a realistic cost- this just isn't so. 

The Skinny Price.

The Innsbruck is priced $5 to $30 below all other men's 5-star shoes. You can own a pair of Fat Bottoms for a skinny $25 or less. Isn't that a nice, fat surprise?

We made tracks for the Olympics.

When our Olympic athletes pursue excellence this summer in Los Angeles, they'll be doing it on ARCO's track. Because ARCO, Atlantic Richfield, wanted our athletes to have the best. That's why we funded the building of the new Olympic track and refurbished the Coliseum. We also wanted our future Olympic hopefuls and our community to have the best. That's why we built seven new Olympic practice tracks at schools in and around Los Angeles.

Tracks that will be around long after the Olympics are over, for the people in the community to use and enjoy. Putting our energy into the community, is just another way that ARCO is putting its energy into excellence. Atlantic Richfield Company.

Saucony 80s vintage sneaker advertisement

Cool old school sneaker advertisement from 1980 featuring the Saucony Hornet, Trainer 1980, Ms. Gripper and Dove II. This original vintage Saucony sneaker print ad is available at our web store Rewind Running.

Ad info is below:

SAUCONY SHOEMAKERS

combine old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern technology to produce some of the finest running shoes in the world. 

We've been making quality shoes along the Saucony Creek in Kutztown since 1898. These four craftsmen alone represent a combined total of 135 years of shoemaking experience. Saucony makes a full line of running shoes for men and women ... quality training and racing flats retailing from $20 to $30. All made in the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition for craftsmanship available to your favorite running shop or sporting goods dealer from five warehouses across the country. That's Saucony (SOCK-a-knee) running shoes. Ask for them by name.

Tred2 "Double D" vintage sneaker ad ​

Tred 2 "Double D" Vintage sneaker print ad. Another cool old sneaker brand that was made in the USA back in the day.

DOUBLE D:
THE ONE SHOE THAT DELIVERS THE TWO THINGS YOUR FOOT NEEDS MOST.

Rearfoot stability and forefoot cushion. That's hard to get in one shoe. That's why TRED 2 invented some-thing called the Double Durometer midsole. A durometer is a measure of firmness or softness of a material. We made the Double with two different ones because your foot wants it that way. When it hits, your rear-foot needs a thicker cushion for shock absorption and then a firmer density midsole for stability and prevention of over-pronation. Your fore-foot needs a softer midsole for easy flex and cushion on toe-off. With the TRED 2 Double D'," your foot doesn't have to com-promise.

Your heel gets a durometer of 35. Your forefoot gets one of 30. Your eye will see the difference in color and your foot will feel it in comfort. Combine Double D"with a light nylon upper reinforced with suede for durability. A unique flex tip for increased forward mobility. And a two-level honeycomb outer sole for superior traction and longer wear. It all adds up to only 297 grams (size 9). The TRED 2 Double D. Because your foot wants the best of two shoes when it can only wear one.
