A Bit of History
Founded in 1916 in Italy, Kappa initially focused on producing socks and underwear, but by the 1960s, it had evolved into a global sportswear brand. By the 90s, Kappa became a leader in athletic and casual streetwear, thanks to its iconic "Omini" logo—a silhouette of a man and woman sitting back-to-back. Known for its collaboration with sports teams and athletes, Kappa’s bold, functional designs made it a popular choice for both performance and style.
During the 90s, Kappa’s tape logo became a symbol of youth culture, featured on tracksuits, T-shirts, and sneakers. The brand’s influence in football culture, streetwear, and sports fashion made it an essential part of the 90s aesthetic.
