New Balance 700 vintage sneaker ad from 1983

Today we’ve got an old school 1980s vintage sneaker ad by New Balance. This ad is for their 700 model runners which featured a "Cellogram" midsole and a "locular dynamic" design. This vintage magazine print advertisement is from 1983 and an original copy is available over at our Rewind Running web store.

The difference between other training shoes and the 700 is staring you in the face.

The NewBalance 700 is a competitive training shoe.

Some of you will wonder what "competitive training" means exactly. If you have to ask; this ain't your shoe. On the other hand, if you're a serious, purposeful runner who trains specifically to run faster, the 700 is going to do something quite remarkable:

Make you a faster runner.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOE IS DESIGNED FOR SPEED.

There have been precursors of the 700. Not the least of which was the New Balance 620. Like that shoe, the 700 is extremely light. More to the point, it’s light years ahead in performance.

Consider its Cellogram midsole/wedge. An exclusive New Balance compound, Cellogram represents a breakthrough in energy efficiency. Running in a lot of training shoes is like running on wet turf. Running in the 700 is like running on a tuned track. The difference is the microcellular construction of the Cellogram Its extremely "tight" cell structure dramatically resists compression set and returns to the runner more of the energy he expends during training. The net result, according to every member of the New BalanceTrack Team who tested the 700, is improved training time.

IT EVEN MAKES TRAINING SAFER.

The core temperature of the bones in a runner's feet are dramatically affected by the nature of a shoe's upper material-a fact confirmed by research we did at the gait lab of one of Boston's leading hospitals.

With this in mind, we made the 700's upper of a special polyweave mesh. Permeable and breathable, it helps to significantly reduce heat buildup-a major contributor to stress fractures.

Other key components in the 700 include a double density counter and a firm mid-sole heel pad for exceptional stability. A cutaway arch and Flextendea Saddle for a unique sock-like feel. And flexible combination last construction for men and women in a variety of widths-because a serious shoe must fit.

Finally, the 700 features a high carbon rubber outersole in a "locular dynamic" design. Translation: exceptional durability, superb traction on any running surface.

The New Balance 700. A shoe designed to improve the one thing serious trainers care about most: Their time.

*Compared to other training shoes, the 700 returns more of a runner's energy to his stride.

Vintage New Balance Trail, Supercomp, 320 and CrossCountry 1970s running shoes

Here’s a 1977 vintage ad for New Balance featuring some awesome old school sneakers including the Trail, Supercomp, 320 and CrossCountry.

Ad info is below:

We make shoes for runners. You may have heard about our New Balance 320 — the top-ranked training shoe in last year's Runner's World rating. But we manufacture a half-dozen other models as well, all just as carefully crafted, including two brand-new shoes specially designed for cross-country work yet tough enough for top performance on hard surfaces. And the new line features several refinements on last year's models: Fuller. boxier toes. Higher, tricot-lined heel counters. Flared soles for increased stability. New Poron 4000 insoles for greater comfort and breathability. Plus New Balance's unique combination of width sizing and total comfort. We give you a run for your money.

FOUR TO GO.

320: Runner's World rated last year's 320 the best training shoe available, but we haven't been standing around on our laurels. This year's model adds Poron' 4000 insoles, a more spacious toe, a padded. fuller heel counter, and new comfort modifications to the upper. We've also introduced a slight serration to the midsole from ball of toot to shank, for softer, suppler flex as well as unparalleled shock attenuation. Our 320 is still the ultimate training shoe. Men and women. 3'/2AA to 15EEEE. in Royal Blue with White trim.

Trail: Designed for trail training but tough enough for road work too, our new Trail has a rounded-stud sole of Alphacrepe that sheds dirt and mud easily without sacrificing traction on wet or sandy surfaces. The Sottcrepe midsole/ wedge combination provides excellent anti-shock cushioning. Backed with 1:6" tricot foam for maximum comfort and breathability, the circular-knit polyester-mesh upper actually wicks off excess heat and moisture. Men and women. 31/2AA to 15EEEE. in Electric Blue with Red midsole.

SuperComp: Bright-colored and better, only the name is the same as last year's SuperComp. The breathable polyester-mesh upper maximizes ventilation and allows your foot to "work" freely. The Poron • 4000 insole reduces other friction and heat build-up, while the new wedge; midsole combination of Levitate reduces weight while increasing shock absorbency. The brush-con-figuration sole is ultra-durable Lydec*. for excellent traction on roads and synthetic tracks. Men and women, 31 AA to 15EEEE, in Sunburst Yellow. Burnt Orange, and Flare Red.

CrossCountry: Our new off-road competition shoe that's tough enough and cushioned enough for hard surfaces too. The light, flexible. studded Alphacrepe sole maximizes traction while minimizing dirt pick-up. The soft, comfortable upper incorporates our new, higher toe design for increased lateral support and ampler toe space. Men and women. 31/:AA to 15EEEE, in Burnt Orange with White trim.
