Osaga "Running Strong" Caliente and Feather Vintage 1979 Running Shoes Sneakers Print Ad

This authentic 1979 Osaga magazine print ad features the Caliente (for men) and Feather (for women)—two highly rated running shoes recognized by Runner’s World for their injury-prevention design during high mileage and racing. Both shoes earned 4-star ratings and were ranked #1 in forefoot impact cushioning. Engineered with grooved midsoles for superior shock absorption and studded outsoles for traction, these models were built for long-distance performance. The Feather was specially designed on a women’s last for a proper anatomical fit. A standout in vintage running history, this ad showcases Osaga’s commitment to comfort, support, and serious mileage.

UPDATE: The Osaga Revival is Here! The cult-favorite running shoe brand, and early Nike rival, from the ’70s and ’80s have returned, thanks to the founders’ family. The KT-26, Moscow 80, and other retro runners are back in stock.
