Hailing from the United Kingdom, JD, the well-known, multi-branded sports footwear and apparel retailer, has finally made its highly-anticipated debut in Singapore with its first store at Jurong Point Shopping Centre on 24 May 2018. Spanning 2,900 sq ft, the ‘Undisputed King of Trainers’ store, as the name implies, carries a wide range of sneakers of over 10 brands, including adidas, Nike, Puma, New Balance, amongst others, as well as a selection of accessories, such as bags, sandals and caps.
The brightly-lit sneakers haven is set out in a neat and organised manner to allow for easy browsing of the footwear available. The vibe is upbeat and convivial with personable, attentive service that makes the shopping experience a walk in the park.
“We are happy and excited that JD has opened its first store in Singapore. With the discerning demand and sophisticated preference for trainers by Singaporeans, JD aims to be the ultimate onestop destination for the whole family – from adults to teens to even kids and infants – for buying their favourite pair of trainers, be it for leisure, performance or fashion” said Justin Lim, Chief Executive Officer, JD Sports Singapore.
What sets JD apart is the availability of the Western European range of trainers that are part of the Global Range collection that might not necessarily be readily available in the South East Asian market. This means that Singapore shoppers will be have a wider range of trainers to choose from, even more than their international counterparts.
JD also boasts a selection of trainers that is exclusive to the store. Tagged with “ONLY AT JD” metal tags, these trainers come in materials or colourways that shoppers will not be able to purchase anywhere else.
A 7,200 sq ft JD flagship store, that will retail the full range of trainers, apparel and accessories, is scheduled to open at ION Orchard in July/August 2018.
