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.
