In 1895, Joseph William Foster at the age of 14 started work in his bedroom above his father’s sweatshop in Bolton, England, and designed some of the earliest spiked running shoes. After his ideas progressed, he founded his business ‘J.W. Foster’ in 1900, later he joined with his sons and changed the company name to J.W. Foster and Sons. Foster opened a small factory called Olympic Works, and gradually became famous among athletes for his “running pumps”. For pioneering the use of spikes, the company’s revolutionary running pumps appear in the book, Golden Kicks: The Shoes that changed Sport.
For this Classics Ad, NGON recreated the Reebok emblem with shoelace, balancing the product on a single strand.
