Osaga KT-26 Vintage 1979 Sneakers Running Shoes Print Ad by Ken's Shoes

This authentic 1979 Osaga magazine print ad highlights the groundbreaking KT-26 running shoe, engineered to reduce shock impact and enhance running efficiency through Osaga’s innovative bio-kinetic sole technology. Designed with angled kinetic levers that absorb and redirect shock outward, the KT-26 stores energy upon ground contact and releases it to spring the runner forward, a concept known as kinetic response. With added reinforcement to minimize ankle pronation and maximize stability, the KT-26 conforms to uneven surfaces for superior traction and control. A standout in late '70s performance footwear, the KT-26 was built to help runners go farther, safer.

UPDATE: Osaga is Back in the Race! The cult sneaker brand from Eugene, Oregon, has returned. The KT-26, Moscow 80, and other classics from the ’70s and ’80s are back on the track and on your feet!
