Vintage Ad: New Balance Runners Circa 1989

words & image // Zack Schlemmer

Here we have a New Balance ad from 1989 when you could actually learn something from a shoe advertisement.  New Balance, longtime running shoe brand with a loyal cult following, brought to you this simple yet informative ad for a selection of their running shoes designed for different types of runners.  Whether you pronate or supinate, run many miles or just a few, need a lot of cushioning or just a little, New Balance had you covered.  In this ad we see a few classic New Balance models like the M576, M996, and super clean M595.  Which pair would you check?

Michael Jordan once graced the front of the Wheaties box wearing the "Grape" Air Jordan V.
