Here’s a vintage 1970s vintage Nike Waffle Trainer print ad. This ad’s photography seems to have served as inspo and was riffed on later in 1979 by the Jaclar Ms. Miler runners here. The original vintage Nike ad is posted over at our Rewind Running web shop here.
Ad info is below:
MADE FAMOUS BY WORD OF FOOT ADVERTISING.
We don't have to tell you about the reputation of Nike running shoes. You already know. Because you're a serious runner. You've seen them on training tracks and fields all over the country.
You know them for their quality. Their lightweight, and long life. Mostly, you know them for the innovative design that always seems to show up first on Nike. We believed if we could build a shoe that was good enough to meet the demands of serious runners like you, the word would spread fast.
And it has. Today, our shoes do most of our advertising for us. And the name Nike is famous. We'd like to thank you for all the ads you've been running for us. On your feet.
