Topper is a sportswear brand owned by Alpargatas, with business in South America (mainly in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay) and Asia. Its products range from footwear and clothing to underwear, sport bags, balls, and equipment in general for football, basketball, volleyball, rugby union and tennis.
In Brazil, Topper supplies athletic footwear and garments for outdoor and indoor football and other sports. The brand is also operating in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other Asian countries.
Topper was founded in Argentina in 1975, as a subsidiary of Alpargatas. During its first decade of existence, Topper launched its canvas shoes, a model of casual footwear which would soon reached not only a huge success but also became the most representative product of the firm in Argentina, and being considered a real "classic" since then.
During the 1980s Topper became one of the most important sportswear brands of Argentina, signing deals with clubs such as Independiente, Ferro Carril Oeste and Estudiantes de La Plata. Most of those teams won several championships (not only in football but in basketball) during that era.
In recent years, Topper has supplied garments for the basketball and volleyball national teams. The company also signed new contracts with former teams Independiente and Estudiantes and made new agreements with football teams Racing and Newell's Old Boys and rugby union clubs San Isidro and Hindú.
