LOOK: JD Sports takes over Makati

From MOA to Glorietta, the UK sneaker giant drops its second PH store packed with heat

After making waves with its first store at SM Mall of Asia back in June, JD Sports is back for round two—this time in the heart of Makati City. The UK’s king of sneakers and street fashion isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and this new spot puts JD right where the action is, at Glorietta, in the middle of the city’s busiest lifestyle district.

“The opening of our Glorietta store marks another key moment in JD Sports’ growth in Southeast Asia,” said Hilton Seskin, CEO of JD Sports APAC. “Together with our partner, SSI Group, we are excited to bring JD’s unique retail experience and exclusive product offering to more Filipino consumers.”

So what’s inside the massive 561 square meter-shop? Pretty much everything to make sneakerheads lose it. We’re talking Adidas classics like Samba OG, EVO SL, Samba Jane; Nike essentials like Air Force, Dunks, and SHOX; New Balance faves like the 530, 740, and 1000; Puma’s Speedcat OG and Ballet silhouettes; and of course, the JD exclusives are waiting too!

President and CEO of SSI Group, Inc., Anthony T. Huang said: “With the launch of JD Sports in Glorietta, we’re making it even more convenient for our customers to access the latest in global sneaker and street fashion. This second store continues to be a reflection of our commitment to growing the JD brand in the Philippines and inspiring the country’s youth and style culture.”
