In October 14, Bowman wrote a letter to Netsuke, said ” sports shoes you made for me in July of exceeded my expectations in all aspects, this type of sports shoes was better than what I asked for”. Bowman was helping Tiger tested all types of sports shoes and provided feedbacks just at that moment. About Bowman’s own design of training shoes, he expressed that a top runner who runs for a long distance and the record can achieve to one thousand and five hundred miles.
Although he did not mention the name, Bowman referred to Kenny Moore. He later became the award-winning sports reporter and the author of several books, including the 2006 publication named “Bowman and the Men of Oregon”. On May 21, 1966, according to the reveal of sales contracts and letters, Bowman-designed 300 pairs TG24 “w/Mexican products” were sold to the Blue Ribbon Sports Company, and on August 7, 1966 the products were put on shipment.

There were enough time for Blue Ribbon Sports Company and Tiger to make a promotion of TG-24 to master athletes all over the global when it was the time that was prior to the Olympic Games, which was held in 1968. But they must give this kind of running shoes a more marketable name.
The four great events were named the Olympic Games, the Asian games, pan American games as well as Commonwealth Games in the 1960s. “Mexican products lines” were designed for the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Bill Bowman’s design, the “Mexican products lines” was considered to be Tiger’s first type of running shoes of “Mexican products”. On January 30, 1967, the kind of shoes newly called “Mexico” in the mailers was mailed by Blue Ribbon Sports Company. The retail price of this kind of shoes was $ 9.95.

The shoes were tested in the United States in 1965, and athletes have worn this type of shoes and finished more than 2,500 miles running.
This style of running shoes were endowed with a new name, which was “Aztec” in April 1967. The name presented on Blue Ribbon Sports Company’s advertising and the company’s mailers.
