This 10th anniversary isn’t just a celebration of JD; it’s a massive thank you to the Malaysian consumers, fashion community and creators who made us their home. We’ve grown together, and over the next decade, we will continue pushing retail boundaries with world-class shopping experiences and bringing the absolute best sneaker, apparel to accessories options and most importantly, exciting ONLY AT JD drops straight to our local consumers.” said Andre Loong, CEO of JD Sports South East Asia.
