Here’s an old school ad for the 1979 Osaga Feather and Caliente models. Osaga was an early regional rival of Nike in Oregon and there is a longer history on Osaga running shoes here.
Ad info is below:
we just improved two great shoes… three ways
At Osaga we're never satisfied. As excited as we are about the Runner's World four-star rating of the Caliente and Feather, we knew we could do even better and we have. The Caliente for men and the Feather for women . . . running stronger. Check out these great improvements . . . but, remember, you'll have to feel them because they can't be seen. Improved flexibility . . . revised midsole construction for foot movement and superior cushioning qualities. Stronger heel counter . . . improved support to offset ankle pronation. Lighter ... significant reduction in overall weight.
