The arrival of JD to Malaysia with an exclusive opening event in the brand’s first Malaysian outlet in Sunway Pyramid. Breaking away from what is expected of a sports apparel store launch, guests, which included local media, bloggers and fashion enthusiasts were entertained by a DJ, street style dancers and a fashion show highlighting the sporting fashion wear carried by the British retailer.
With more than 800+ stores located primarily in the UK, Netherlands, France, Germany and Belgium, JD has moved out of a familiar market to open its doors in Malaysia, at the fashion-forward mall, Sunway Pyramid. Selected for its central location and proximity to local colleges and universities, the location aims to reach potential JD customers that tend to be young with an understanding of brands that allow them to make a fashion statement.
Dubbed the ‘King of Trainers’
With 30 years of experience in sports fashion retail, JD distributes the latest and best street style sports fashion brands to a global audience. In addition to brands like Adidas Originals, Nike, New Balance, Converse, Lacoste, Fila, Timberland, EA7, The North Face, Supply & Demand and Asics, JD also distributes exclusive sneakers designed by leading designers specifically for the retailer. Their extensive range and understanding of sneakers earned them a reputation as the ‘King of Trainers’. The launch gambit, which featured the unveiling of the ‘King of Trainers’ shield, further enhanced the brand’s value.
Apart from sneakers, JD also carries an extensive range of sports fashion and street style clothing for men, women and children, comprising polo shirts, t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants and jackets.
