Nike Coolness From The 1980s

Vintage Nike shoe-shaped vinyl keychain in teal with white imprint, custom-made in the USA in the 1980s

By Chris Shetler |

We came across one of our vintage, custom-shaped USA vinyl keychains that was made back in the 1980s—or possibly the late ’70s—for Nike. Totally cool, right? Check out that sweet shoe.

Nike must think so too—they’ve recently re-released what looks like this very same sneaker as part of their vintage collection. It’s no surprise the keychain has aged this well, especially the imprint. That print isn’t coming off… and we mean never. Maybe we’ll check again in a few hundred years, but we’re pretty sure it’ll still be out there, still marketing away just like it is now.

Some designs never lose their cool—especially when they’re made to last.

Our vinyl formula is proprietary, developed specifically for the promotional industry, along with inks designed to bond with that material during curing. The result? A permanent imprint that’s literally built to last a lifetime. It’s the kind of quality that turns a fun giveaway into a piece of history—and our customers think that’s a pretty cool deal for their brand, too.
