Converse Pacers 1970 3 stripe vintage sneakers ad

September 8, 2020

A while back I alluded to the many 3 stripe brands of the 1970s and 80s. Today we're going way, way back to 1970 when Converse was the three stripe brand… or at least one of them. These rare sneakers were made with Clarino which is a synthetic leather material and is still used in athletic shoes 50 years later.

Ad info is below:

Converse Pacers that play hard talk it up for Clarino.

I'm the 'Pacer,' an all-purpose athletic shoe made by Converse. Made with Clarino, a remarkable new shoe material that a shoe can appreciate. I know what it's like to get buried in mud up to the eyelets on a wet, sloppy ballfield. And how easy it is to get battered and bruised, even in a 'touch' foot-ball game with the kids. And while jogging may be a great way for a guy to keep in shape, it can make his shoes look old long before their time. Unless they're made with Clarino. Clarino won't crack or peel, no matter how hard the going. It ignores the weather. It wipes clean with a swipe of a cloth. It breaks in with the first step and conforms to your every movement perfectly. And what a baseball wouldn't give to resist scuffs and scratches the way Clarino does! And since I never look like I've seen any action, you can wear me with slacks and a sports jacket. Clarino. The new man-made shoe material that has all us Converse Pacers talking. And other shoes, too.

Sears Jeepers 1970 3 stripe vintage sneaker ad

August 28, 2019

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.
