Kaepa Inc was launched in 1975. The company manufactured shoes in San Antonio, Texas and patented “the two laces” to a shoe idea. Now, when I say two laces, its not two sets of laces going through the same holes its two sets of laces going through separate holes (check out the pic above). Whether the two laces system helped the fit of the shoe is up for debate but the two sets of laces definitely allowed for the wearer to give their kicks a more custom look (you could switch up the colors of the laces). Today, Kaepa has morphed into a shoe company that primarily offers volley ball and cheerleading shoes and their “k” logo is now two right pointing triangles. Get fired up and tack a trip back to 1979 above!
