The late James Harder announces this commercial. I remember seeing this commercial in April 1984 and April 1985. I mentioned previously that I saw the Care Bear Shoes commercial in April 1984 and April 1985. Both commercials aired on WGN-TV Chicago station in the late afternoons (Scooby Doo was on the programs that aired).

hahaha....cool....wasn't cognizant of the seasons of when it aired. But what I do recall doing is the week after seeing it on TV, I'd find myself going outside to a local field & performing the "Z -signature" myself in the dirt, then I'd race my friends home on foot 2 blocks to where I'd win each time. My frustrated friends went out & bought Zips too b/c they thought it made me run faster! lol.

I was born in 72. Does the first shoe I ever wanted had Superfriends (Superman - Batman-Ect) around the sole. The 2nd pair were called “Zips” I remember the commercial kids making a letter Z in the dirt. It was a must have. I remember thinking I could run faster when I wore them. I think I got them at a shoe store called Buster Browns?

72 here too. My cousin used to make the 'z' on the dirt area of the soccer field(he didn't have Zips). I laughed because I'd seen the commercial, but hadn't seen a pair of Zips in the wild.

where's the commercial from the 70's, the original one with the theme song? Zips the big Z. The child actors in the commercial would do the infamous Z signature in the sand by running in place and zig zagging the dianol line to connect the letter.
