Osaga KT-26 a step ahead 1979 vintage sneaker ad

Here’s another vintage 1970’s sneaker ad for the Osaga KT-26 model running shoes. This ad covers their cantilevered sole with “kinetic levers” to dissipate shock absorption.

Ad info is below:

The revolutionary new Osaga KT-26 was designed for serious runners. The bio-kinetic construction of the KT-26 dissipates shock upon impact and deflects it away from the foot and leg. The tough, outside ribs of the cantilevered sole —called kinetic levers — spread upon impact, absorbing the shock and forcing it outward. Part of the absorbed shock, however, is stored in the levers and released during the flow of ground contact, springing you forward. This is kinetic response, the key element in the development of the Osaga KT-26. A rigid heel counter and uppers of soft, crushable nylon and nylon mesh combine to give the men's and women's KT-26 maximum comfort and breathability, even on the hottest days and longest runs. The KT-26 for women is constructed on a woman's last and features true slim widths in most sizes. For cushioning, comfort and durability, the Osaga KT-26, is clearly, a step ahead.
