Here’s a retro sneaker ad from the 1970s for Kinney’s partnership with the National Basketball Association line of sneakers featuring 4 adidas style stripes.. Kinney’s NBA line of sneakers were known for knocking off bigger brands, like adidas’ SL72 & 76 model runners, and also infamously featured an upside down Nike style swoosh. We posted a pair of those for sale here.
The strangest part about this advertisement is that the Kinney sponsor in this ad appears to be wearing PONY shoes.
Similar to the logo to these PONY shoes….
