Kelme socks

Kelme is a historic Spanish sports brand that gained global recognition during the 1990s as the official sponsor of Real Madrid and the Spanish Olympic team. Founded in Elche, Spain, the brand is famous for its distinctive 'claw' logo and its focus on football and futsal gear. In recent years, ownership and manufacturing have shifted significantly toward Asia.

Today, the brand's global operations and intellectual property are largely controlled by Chinese entities following strategic investments and partnerships aimed at expanding Kelme's reach in the Asian market. While the brand maintains its Spanish heritage and a presence in Europe through local distribution, the vast majority of its manufacturing, including mass-market items like athletic socks, takes place in China to leverage large-scale textile production capabilities.
