Description

I’m selling a Vintage Airwalk Action Sports Heroes in BURN BABY BURN Advertisement 1996.  Includes 8 page fold out story board.  Please look at the photos and purchase accordingly.
Around the early 80s, brands such as Vans take a serious hold of the skateboarding market, not intending to let go. But, despite having relatively no history in the field and no team of sponsorships to speak of, Airwalk enters the ring.
In 1986, George Yohn and Bill Mann decide to break into the industry with a simple goal: create shoes that are more functionally sound and durable for skateboarders.
At the time, action sports athletes were looked down upon. So, for Airwalk’s actions sports line they cast their Pros as the super-stars of high-action, high-drama mini-movies and got James Bond director, John Glen, to shoot them. They also created print that showed off the skills of action sports athletes in epic settings.
