With their five-year partnership drawing to a close at the end of this season, Kappa and Deportivo de La Coruña have chosen to go out on a high. Teaming up with Pompeii, the two brands celebrate their time together through a special capsule that taps into Galician identity, told, fittingly, through football.
That’s the thing about football: nothing lasts forever. Partnerships run their course, contracts wind down, and new chapters begin elsewhere. But endings don’t always have to sting. Sometimes they can feel more like a warm goodbye – a handshake, a shared smile, a moment to look back and say, that was pretty good, wasn’t it? That’s exactly the energy here, as Kappa and Dépor bring the curtain down on their relationship in a way that feels more celebratory than sentimental.
With Nike waiting in the wings and Deportivo pushing toward a return to La Liga, this final offering from Kappa leans into what’s always mattered most: identity, pride, and place. Created alongside Pompeii, the capsule puts Galicia front and centre, framing football not just as a game, but as something woven into everyday life. A sense of belonging. A shared language. As farewells go, it feels like a fitting – and beautiful – way to close the chapter.
Because being a Dépor fan has always been about more than ninety minutes. For many, it’s simply part of being Galician; club and territory intertwined through memory, tradition, and a collective way of feeling. This collection builds from that idea, taking “Miña Terra Galega” as its guiding thread and letting it run through every piece.
The result is a wardrobe that balances football heritage with a contemporary lens: a match jersey inspired by the glass-fronted galleries of A Coruña; a training jacket that nods to Kappa’s archive; a long-sleeve knit polo stamped with “Forza do Atlántico”; a cotton long-sleeve tee carrying “Miña Terra Galega”; and a limited-run check windbreaker that rounds things out.
And so this capsule feels like a proper send-off – a final gesture that reflects the story Kappa and Dépor have built together over the past five years. Not an ending to dwell on, but one to appreciate. A goodbye done properly.
Wish all relationships could end like this...
