Kappa is an iconic Italian sportswear brand founded in 1967 in Turin, Italy. It is famous for its 'Omini' logo, which depicts a man and a woman sitting back-to-back. Originally born from a sock and underwear company called Maglificio Calzaturificio Torinese (MCT), Kappa evolved into a global symbol of sports and lifestyle fashion.

Today, the brand is owned by BasicNet S.p.A., an Italian publicly listed company that manages a portfolio of leisurewear and footwear brands. While the brand's heart and design headquarters remain in Italy, manufacturing is outsourced to various countries globally, including China, Vietnam, and Turkey, to meet international demand for their athletic footwear and apparel.
