Point 4our 1975 vintage sneaker ad

This is a 1975 vintage sneaker ad for point 4our. We could not find any “World Indoor Record” breaking articles of anyone wearing Point four runners in 1975 so the jury is out on this ad. Also, the old Point 4our world headquarters location in Toledo, OH is now a Panera bread if any of y’all are into that Toasted Frontega Chicken.

Point 4 vintage running shoes ad from 1975

Today we've got an old school vintage sneaker ad from 1975 for Point 4 brand sneakers. I had someone send an email into the blog recently about this brand and he mentioned that the person who designed the shoe attended Bowling Green State University. (Thanks for the info Rich.) I'm going to dig further on this brand but according to the LetsRun forum boards the logo was designed by Emerson Hallenbeck III.

If you want to see another .4 ad we posted one here.

Tough leather uppers help equip this shoe with all the necessities for long distance training. The soles propel the runner toward his goal by providing positive forward traction. This shoe is just like the people it's named after—rugged, dependable and able to bounce back after an exhausting challenge.

A marathon runner needs all the help he can get to withstand this particularly grueling race. STING is specially designed as a racing marathon shoe. It gives the athlete DENYAFOUR nylon uppers and a tough sole that supports his feet over any terrain during the long, brutal races.
