We love us some old school Pony sneakers. These shoes are from around 1978 have the "VSD" sole which according to their old ads was supposed to insure optimal shock absorption, pronation and forward motion at the ball of the foot. This was achieved through specially designed nipples on heel for maximum shock absorption along with special treads for increased traction and natural transfer of forward energy as runner pushes off and specially contoured nipples designed to absorb initial shock and promote natural pronation of foot. If you want to see what the VSD sole looked like it is pictured in this old PONY sneaker advertisement.
