FASTRAK Flex-26W 1979 vintage running shoes ad
Fastrak started out with some similar-to-adidas 3 stripe logo sneakers but eventually added the 4th stripe. This brand always delivered with trippy retro advertising… like this man running in the sky. The ad below is for the women’s version of the Flex-26.

A lot of running shoes fit a woman's feet.
IntroducIng Flex-26W. By Fastrak.
The premise: A woman is more than just a smaller-sized man. The result: Flex-26W. A shoe made on a last made just for you, the American woman..
The last takes into consideration the biodynamics of your lower center of gravity, your special skeletal curvature .. your woman's body. Then shapes the shoe accordingly, under approval of Dr. Lowell Scott Weil, the widely known sports podiatrist and podiatric surgeon, and supervisor of our Sports Advisory Staff.
Flex-26W understands: If you want a shoe that really fits a woman's foot, you've got to realize she is a woman ... from head to toe. See the Flex-26W and other Fastrak styles at your nearby Fastrak dealer.
