Footasylum is not the same company as JD, in fact the only thing the JD group and footasylum have in common is that the FORMER JD owners have some involvement in it.

No, I see your point, when it comes to ‘collector’ edition sneakers, mark up, because regardless of the prize tag, a ‘sneaker head’ will go out their way to cop a pair, if they really want them? Correct?

My point is seperate, in that JD Sports (and the rest of the stores that fall in the same parent group) are rip off merchants.

The indie stores offer more variety and at more competitive prices, and so they should.

Truth!

& Paw, you’re…not even gonna bother w/it. You just go on some weird tangents that completely ignore the obvious.

@Gotty, example JD Sports selling a pair of Lacoste for £80, exact same pair copped them for £45 a few stores away from JD.

Another example Gio Goi track hoody, JD retailing for £65, exact same top copped it for £30 from another local outlet.

I note that indies around my way are doing better than the JD (and their affiliates). Simply out of the fact that they got more variety and are competitive price wise.

If you all think that JD are awesome, you should go pay them a visit when you are UK side, then go into one of the indies nearby and you will see a world of difference.

I remember JD sports used to have the illest exclusives.. good 2 see them coming back into the game again…
