Here’s a patriotic ALL CAPS 1984 vintage sneaker ad for the Vans 5000 runners.
I posted an ad for these previously and they came with a 1 year 5,000 mile warranty. The sole construction on these featured two layers of steel mesh with carbon compound for superior abrasion resistance.
Ad info is below:
AMERICA IS SECOND TO NONE. NEITHER IS THE “VANS 5000”
THE TRUE BLUE TIME OR DISTANCE GUARANTEED RUNNING SHOE.
