Osaga KT-26 Vintage 1979 'A Step Ahead' Sneakers Running Shoes Print Ad

This authentic 1979 Osaga magazine print ad features the revolutionary KT-26 running shoe, engineered for serious runners seeking superior shock absorption, cushioning, and performance. Featuring Osaga’s innovative bio-kinetic sole with cantilevered “kinetic levers,” the KT-26 dissipates impact forces and stores energy to spring the runner forward, an advanced concept known as kinetic response. With a rigid heel counter, breathable nylon mesh upper, and gender-specific construction including slim widths for women, the KT-26 delivers lasting comfort and durability. A Runner’s World 5-star rated shoe, the KT-26 remains a standout example of 1970s running innovation and a true step ahead.

UPDATE: From Track to Street - They’re Back! In 2025, Osaga’s most iconic running shoes are back on shelves. The KT-26, Moscow 80, and more have been brought back by the brand’s next generation.
