JD Sports Goes 'From the Mountain, to the Street' With Joe James and the Salomon XT-6
This season,JD Sportsadds theSalomonXT-6to its extensive footwear roster. Known for crafting exclusive campaigns for its brands' collections, the launch is accompanied by the retailer's debut campaign with the outdoor label titled 'From the Mountain, to the Street.' Making its mark among athletes, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts alike, the XT-6 was originally designed for ultra-distance races across various terrains. In recent years, however, the silhouette has witnessed a rebirth, gaining new acclaim within the lifestyle space as more consumers increasingly prioritize comfort when shopping for footwear. Fusing technical innovation with stand-out design features, the sneaker's highly durable overlays, cushioned midsole, extra gripped outsole as well as signature Salomon Quicklace™ lacing system, have made the XT-6 a go-to silhouette for trail-to-city activities. Continuing its commitment to champion local stars, JD Sports enlists East London native and Salomon Sportstyle ambassadorJoe Jamesto front its debut campaign for the outdoor brand. As a rising voice in culture, the artist has garnered a cult following for his lyricism and presence within the city's streetwear scene. Possessing an authentic relationship with fashion and the outdoors, Joe James' versatility embraces the sneaker's roots as well as its current bridge into the lifestyle realm. The campaign visuals capture the sneaker in its natural element, both in the city and outdoors, with the artist sporting this season's two highlighted colorways: 'Cloud/Iron/Ultra' and 'Black/Grey/Orange.' Retailing for £165 GBP (approx. $220 USD), both of the Salomon XT-6 sneakers are available to purchase from JD Sports now.

JD Sports and adidas Partner with Aaliyah Edwards of the Washington Mystics on Donation to DC's Simon Elementary School
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JD Sports, adidas, and Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards will present a $10,000 donation to Simon Elementary School in Washington, D.C., on Friday, June 6. The donation stems from Edwards' March 2025 appearance on Community Voices, a JD Sports social media series that features celebrities, athletes, and activists to amplify and fund underrepresented voices. During the episode, and in honor of Women's History Month, Edwards discussed the women who have inspired her, her WNBA journey, and her passion for giving back. In support of her commitment to community, JD Sports partnered with adidas to contribute funds toward a new media center at Simon Elementary, located in D.C.'s Ward 8. The school, situated near the Mystics training facility, serves many young Mystics fans—most of whom had never met a professional player before. Edwards first visited Simon through a friend's connection, and her ongoing relationship with the students and school staff inspired her to direct the donation there. 'Ultimately, I'm just so grateful to JD Sports and adidas for helping me do this,' said Edwards. 'The school plans to use the donation to build a media center that supports STEAM programming, helping kids learn coding and how to use technology like iPads and laptops. Giving these kids a chance to just be kids with access to great technology means a lot to me.' Edwards and Principal Franchita Eborn will present the donation during a special ceremony at the school on June 6. As part of the celebration, Simon Elementary will receive a Washington Mystics jersey signed by Edwards. MEDIA & CONTENT CAPTURE AVAILABILITY DATE: Friday, June 6 TIME: Media Arrival and Set Up Time - 8:15 - 8:30 AM ET. Event Start Time - 8:45 AM ET.

JD Sports to open huge two-floor store in the middle of Cardiff
A huge new JD Sports store will be coming to Cardiff's St David's Shopping centre early next year, taking over two floors of the Grand Arcade. The nearly 32,000 square foot store is set to span across two levels in the site that was once home to SportsDirect, and is expected to open in the spring of 2026 - in just under 12 months time. The new store will see the closure of the JD Sports on Queen Street, but will also fill the unit that has been empty since SportsDirect left in February 2024. The news of JD Sports coming to St David's was first posted on TikTok and follows the news that beauty giant Sephora will also open a store in the shopping centre. Read more about that here.

"Part of the original line-up at the launch of the expanded St David's in 2009, Swatch will open in the lower level of the centre's Grand Arcade, next to Swarovski and opposite Menkind. "The brand's new boutique will showcase its latest collections of watches and iconic collaborations in what will be its only standalone store in Wales. "The latest announcement follows the relocation of several of the shopping centre's popular brands, opening new, upsized new stores. "Sustainable charity store Ethical Boutique has upsized to a new unit in the Cathedral Walk mall selling pre-loved clothing and hosting its speciality community coffee stand while Welsh streetwear indie Clothing Culture is set to move to a new store in the St David's Way mall. "In addition, outdoor clothing and equipment brand Trespass has opened a new larger store in the Cathedral Walk mall, lifestyle fashion store Damaged Society has also relocated to a larger space near Clarks, while accessories destination Accessorize has refurbished its store with a fresh new look.
