Kappa High sneakers for Men

How it began
In 1956, the letter K appears on socks produced by Maglificio Calzificio torinese, the Vitale family's historic company. K stands for “Kontrollen,” the German word for special attention to quality control. This decision, which later proved to be brilliant, resulted from the return to the factory of a batch of defective socks. What was initially just a way to convey quality quickly became Kappa's brand symbol.

1969 - The Omini logo.
The perfect image to represent the soul of Robe di Kappa was taken during a photo shoot for Beatrix, another brand in the Vitale family. A backlit photo of the silhouette of a boy and girl, sitting back to back. This photo, later renamed “Omini,” quickly became the brand's emblematic logo.
