Originating in Turin, Italy, in 1967, and present in over 130 countries, Kappa is worn by professional athletes and style enthusiasts all over the world. Distinguished by the iconic logo that depicts a man and woman sitting back-to-back, Kappa epitomizes an avant-garde fusion of Italian technology, retro hip-hop style, and technical sportswear heritage.
In 1979, Kappa pioneered the era of branded football apparel through a historic partnership with Juventus, marking the most successful technical sponsorship in Italian history. The brand’s global dominance expanded throughout the 80s and 90s as the Omini logo outfitted elite icons like AC Milan and FC Barcelona on the world stage. This evolution peaked with the 1999 launch of the Kombat™ jersey, a revolutionary, tight-fitting design that permanently redefined the intersection of sport and style.
In 1984, Kappa entered the U.S. by sponsoring U.S. Track & Field at the Los Angeles Olympics, designing a silver, space-inspired race suit in collaboration with a NASA scientist. The look introduced the iconic 222 Banda and shaped Kappa’s Authentic identity.
From its early partnership with Juventus to global collaborations across athletics and skiing, Kappa became a symbol of performance, innovation, and unmistakable style.
Today, Kappa expresses its identity through two worlds. Kappa, the technical and performance-driven core, shaped by research and innovation across multiple sports. And Authentic, where streetwear, and sport meet in a modern, sport-inspired wardrobe. From its Turin roots to the global stage, Kappa continues to evolve while staying true to its identity — united by a single emblem, the Omini, recognized worldwide.
