Trax by Kmart 1977 vintage joggers ad
Here's an old school 1977 vintage ad for Kmart Trax nylon joggers. What's interesting about this ad is that the swoosh on the sneaker next to the 4 stripe special is nearly identical to the Diadora-ish swoosh on a post for the 1978 Sears kicks last month. 🕵️♂️👟 The shoes in the Sears post had no labels on them so maybe they "fell off the truck" on their way to Kmart. haha.
