Month: June 2025

Following on from the opening of its Dubai flagship last year, JD has revealed a brand new retail hub in the city as it continues to build on its presence beyond Europe. Set in City Centre Mirdif – a five million sqft shopping mall housing over 450 shops – the store brings the “King of Trainers” staple offering of performance garments, athleisurewear, and sneakers to the central location. As well as shopping the latest drops and seasonal collections from popular sportswear brands, visitors will be able to get their hands on exclusive “Only at JD” products at the store, which historically have included limited-edition releases from Nike, adidas, New Balance and On. To celebrate the new store, JD hosted a special event earlier this month. Giving shoppers a taste of the pop-ups and activations expected to take place in the space, the retailer served up live music from local DJ Ruuz and DJ Noor, a JD emblazoned photobooth, and an engraving station for Stanley Cup customization. Take a closer look at the two-day event in the gallery above. Explore the latest sneaker and sportswear drops at the new JD store now.
