Founded in 1939 in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Munich began as a family-run business crafting technical footwear for sports like rugby, futsal, and handball. The brand, originally named Berneda, gained a reputation for quality and in 1964, adopted the name Munich and its now-iconic “X” logo. This emblem, initially a functional solution to cover stitching, became the brand's signature mark of distinction. While deeply rooted in performance sports—its GOAL futsal shoe became a market leader in the 1980s—the brand pivoted towards fashion at the turn of the millennium. The third generation of the founding Berneda family transitioned Munich's athletic designs into the world of urban streetwear.
