Onitsuka Tiger Montreal '76 vintage sneaker ad

Here's an old school late 1975 vintage sneaker ad for the Onitsuka Tiger Montreal '76 runner sporting the "heel lock" heel counter. What's odd about these sneakers is that Onitsuka Tiger has re-issued a shoe called the 'Montreal' but it has a slightly different style than this one. These closely resemble the Corsair.

Ad info is below:

They're tough.

Go for a run in the rain. Wear them every day for miles of training. Cover them with mud and dirt on a cross-country outing. Run on roads, grass or cinder tracks. Tiger Montreal 76's are built to last. Their cool, comfortable nylon uppers won't stretch or tear, stiffen or crack, no matter how hard you use them. The new "heel lock" heel counter, the wider, more stable heel, and the leather toe cap will protect your feet from strains and sprains, and the foam-cushion arch support and heel wedgewill absorb the shocks that cause injuries over hundreds of training miles. Red or blue with white Tiger stripes, sizes 3-13, only $22.95.
