Foot Locker Lynx ​vintage sneaker ad @ The Deffest

Lynx by Foot Locker vintage sneaker ad

November 8, 2018

Here’s the second Foot Locker Lynx brand sneaker ad, the last time was an ad from 1985 when the Lynx was on the loose.

Not much to say on the sneakers above except to add a quick fact: Did you know that a Lynx is faster than a Puma but a Tiger is faster than both of them? The average top speed of a Puma is 45 kph, (28 mph) and for a Lynx it is 80 kph, (50 mph) while a tiger is 96 kph, (60 mph). 🏃‍♂️🐅​

THE MISSING LYNX.

You're learning that a hot label doesn't always mean a great shoe. Now you're looking for quality that translates into real value. And here's where you'll find it. Ina line of athletic shoes for adults and children. Exercise, court and running shoes that will match excellence with any top brand. Lynx builds in the best of the best features, and leaves off the un-needed frills. You'll find them at Foot Locker side by side with Nike, Reebok, Puma, Adidas and the rest. Compare them feature for feature, including the price. You'll find what's been missing. Lynx.
