JD Sports Built a Sneaker Monopoly and no one noticed!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- JD Sports, the UK-based retail giant, has quietly built a sneaker empire in the US. Starting with a modest entry in 2018, they've aggressively acquired major players, transforming the landscape of athletic footwear retail.
This video dives deep into JD Sports' acquisition strategy, breaking down their key purchases:
• Finish Line (2018): Gaining a foothold and expanding brand power.
• Shoe Palace (2020): Dominating the West Coast and tapping into streetwear culture.
• DTLR (2021): Expanding to the East Coast and strengthening the streetwear focus.
• Hibbett Sports (Proposed 2024): Expanding reach into the Southeast and Midwest.
With an estimated 5,000 stores and billions in assets, JD Sports is a force to be reckoned with. But how will they manage this massive empire? Share your thoughts in the comments!

This is great video! I'm a 67 year old supply chain professor at ASU and a sneakerhead for more than 50 years. I am going to use this video in my courses next Spring. I hope you can make some more ofthese. THis one is incredible.
Checkout the Sole Savy Podcast # 193, released back in May, did a good job covering this too. 💪
Hello Sir, I'm trying to apply in ASU for January 2025. Would love to get some information from you
@Dalerogers7 That sounds awesome! Keep me posted on that lecture. Also, my son has been a student at your school since 2021.
@@Ballinonabudget Arizona State University, right? Is he in WP Carey? Tell him I’ll buy him lunch or something.
@@sjtworld9447 sure. Be happy to talk to you. I don’t k ow much about undergraduate programs because I only teach grads in the B-School
I just copped Jordan 1 OG High gold metallic & Jordan 38 low coconut milk for $75 ea! JD has been doin the best sales lately
Nice!!
JD Sports was founded near where I reside in Greater Manchester, UK. Like you said they have a presence all over the world now! Good video as always buddy! 😊👍
Very cool to hear homie thanks for commenting
Sneakers are fake as they come.. why doesn't nike sell to them directly? Buying from 3rd party sellers...lmfao... ya really stupid asf
I've been ordering from JD sports for about 5 years now. Always seem to have a nice stock with decent prices. Randomly walked in my local mall a couple months ago, im not a mall shopper at all, but i needed something right then, and saw that they had turned the finish line into a JD. They're selection was unmatched and they actually had everything in stock. Hands down the best shoe store I've been in...and this is coming from a dedication online shopper who hates malls
This is a great blog sir. Thoroughly enjoy what you do. I am also 67 years old and just starting out in the sneaker game and appreciate all the information you share. I don’t buy everything that comes out but I try to buy what I like. I don’t go overboard spending several hundreds of dollars and I try to strictly purchase retail either in retail stores or outlet centers.
LThanks for joining! Everyone shops differently, so the more info you have, the better you can choose what works for you.
This will be the video that pushes you over 100k bro. EXTREMELY informative and well researched.
Hope so!
This video will be underrated. very educational
Let hope not 🙏🏾, hope it find the people that needs to hear it.
I'm in the UK and grew up with JD stores everywhere, not once have I ever seen a pair of Jordans (other than non-numbered) in any store!
@@fruities86 depends on area of stores bro
@@fruities86 same here foot locker is better I think
@@fruities86 you must live in Blackpool
@@leonpalmer2429 Southampton 😂, guess to Americans nothing exists outside of London
@@fruities86 so if I mentioned Blackpool which is up north why would that indicate I only know London. Bigger cities like London Manchester Birmingham etc have a lot more variety in stores than smaller towns and cities.
Loving JD in Canada! Literally anything is better than Footlocker.
Wow 😮
In the UK it’s always Jd over Footlocker
Great video I noticed when I stepped into jd with my friends for the first time last year. I was like wow these guys are defiantly disrupters in this space in good way
Great video, I didn't know JD bought DTLR, I'm in DC, and another Baltimore based store called Shoe City went out of business, I wish JD had bought them, FTL stores got some real competition, this was an excellent educational viewing
Just bought hibbetts
They are huge here in Malaysia and Singapore too. They habe the best selection over here as compared to FL.
Footlocker in trouble. Good video man...
@@thisiscamisthebridge1360 I dunno if that’s true for the UK, the colour ways are pretty common/boring in JD but footlocker got that heat.
@@edjrod29 JD bigger in UK in general not just shoes, JD has way more than foot locker in terms of stock, Yes for shoes you could argue Foot locker hence the word foot being in the name.
JD is more than just shoes.
This was a great a good piece of content. Very knowledgeable information.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙏🏾
JD in the states are so much better than ours in the uk.
Really?
100 percent
😂Lol, not as far as apparel
@Ballinonabudget yeah really unfortunately
JD is for the masses in the UK, they own brands like Footpatrol, HIP and size? which sell more exclusive product.
I have finish line & it rocks! Just found some Yeezy 350s there yesterday 🎉
Nice!! 👍🏾
More videos like this bro. Not many sneaker channels doing videos like this. I thought this was just gonna be another regular vlog video. 😮
More to come!
I’m in Toronto Canada and seeing JD come over the border and open up so many locations across the GTA Vaughn and Mississauga!! I can see them bringing some more locations and brands to the Canadian market to compete with the couple big boys that are left standing!!! They have amazing products and pricing….even better selection of Nike’s than the mall Nike store locations….so sad!!
Not sure if they are following the acquisition strategy where I am but I do notice JD Sports opening more branded retail stores in Canada lately.
here in baltimore maryland we never called then nike cortez.. they were the project nikes here.. still keep a pair for every summer.....
Love your videos man, I've been watching since 4k subscribers, you've done well over the years. Thanks for all the work and information that you are providing
I love his videos. So informative. I love it.
Glad you like them!
Informative, and entertaining. Nice piece.
Thank you kindly!
Wowww I did not know this information. Makes me understand why I use to always go to every shoe store because they had the same shoes or alittle different shoes but low price of the same shoes in different stores and it’s probably because they owned them. Crazy
Best practice is to check multiple different stores 😉
FRANK FRIDAYS LET'S GOOOOOOBRO....💪💯👍✌️
👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
JD sports is something else in the US. They are what is considered “trashy” in the UK. JD is not a “ go to” store in the UK. So it’s always surprising to see the stock in the US Jd’s
No but HIP size and foot patrol are. All ran by JD
Really sick video- so close to 100k!
Basically the “fanatics” of sneaker retailers. Buying out their competition to gain a monopoly.
That’s what they did, let’s see if they win in the long run.
Dtlr was a DMV sneaker store till they expanded and bought Sneaker Villa bka The Villa(A east Pennsylvania based sneaker store) then they put stores in central Jersey then down the east coast
DTLR and villa was also a thing, but now they under the same ☂
They seem like every other shoe store at the mall. The slump in NA was a great way for them to get in cheap.
I haven’t bought a sneaker at the store in years. I’ll be visiting the JD sport at the mall to see if I’ll find something I like. I have a feeling I will. Cool video.
Great video! I did not know JD purchase Shoe Palace. It makes sense when I got to JD and I can’t find something they refer me to Shoe Palace.
Great video. I look forward to watching more.
Jd sports have crazy sales online
Tru 👍🏾
i guess JD is been doing this everywhere because they just did this in my country Cyprus and in GREECE where they bought cosmosports
Oh, they have. There are many more retail properties I haven’t mentioned, but they’re on your side of the world.
When i saw those Zoom GT Jump 2's for only $70 in this vid i JUMPED on the JD Sports s1+e, to find out they only have size 7 in them left 😢
Damit 😂
One of those opened in my neighborhood and I had no idea what it was .
I noticed they opened 2 new stores here in Vancouver, Canada this year..
👍🏾
10:58 i want those Nikes!
Thanks for the information and Knowledge on this one my guy!!! Watched it twice
Wow 😮 thanks bro 🙏🏾
First i thought JD was Dr.Js backwards like a reboot and Nike didnt stop selling to them like they did many local stores?
We just got JD not long ago over here in the Middle East too! They're not as diverse as what you guys got, but it's way better than the sh!t show that is Footlocker! But then finding a sneakerhead over here is like spotting a unicorn
Looks like they have music blasting in the US stores as well 😂
Never knew JD ventured out to the US
They are putting a Hibbett store in my neighborhood in Rosemount area
Really 🤔 I’ll pull up once it opens
This is the most informative video I have ever seen🥇🥇
Yep especially now the hibbetts sale has gone through
Dope to hear
@@Ballinonabudget Its a massive gamble though. Spent last year's entire profits on the acquisition.
Burlington got the same shirts the Cheech & chong's in the Boyz n the Hood😅😅😅
Interesting 🤔
Such an informative video, really enjoyed this! Keep it up :)
Thank you! Will do!
wow i didnt know JD owned FL and SP. Im from the UK, JD always had the best trainers second to footlocker in my opinion. First time I went US I thought Finishline was better than JD and now I know they own them.
On it now fam!!!!!
Appreciate Big homie 👏🏾
Hold on… they bought FinishLine? Wow I dint know that. Usually I know this stuff
2019 homie 👌🏾
I realized it the other day when I was asked if I wanted to link my Nike account to them and they gave me 2000 status points for doing so.
This is dope! Lots of knowledge 🙏 also love the Florida mall
Been a Sub for a couple of years now!!!!!Great content!!!!!Keep Balling!!! Predict over 200k Subs by Jan2025!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, I'll take a screenshot of your comment. If this comes to fruition, I'll be sure to credit you for the prediction. 😉
We mess with footlocker here
Thanks for dropping the knowledge
No problem 😉
Dtlr cool its just finding my size.every now then i get lucky.
That’s like every other store
JD Sports here in Canada has the Nike Dunk low Knicks for $65 usd 😮
Shoes of the same model often have varying prices depending on the geographic location.
@@Ballinonabudget I hear you saying Dunks aren't moving off the retail shelves, but at $65 they are welcome to sit on my shelf 😂
Great video nitty. You really break it down for us 😎🤘
Glad you think so!
I wonder If The Disciple John The Baptist And David That Killed Goliath Was Happy.
3:04 what are they! They are sick
Got to circle back in that
I never seen harden 8’s in store ! Wow
Nah not around here, I visit Adidas outlet every time I go to Nike..not there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ive always wondered how JD was able to create a monopoly, but the Government steps in when every other industry here tries to do it.
What happened at 6:43 ? lol I was learning stuff bro lol...
I stayed in the Midwest and for some reason DTLR gives me fake shoe vibes. Went in there seen some shoes out a week before release and the shoes just don’t look right
Wow 😮
Fam those Glow Greens are $99 online…….. just gotta know where to look😉
Good to know homie
We have JD Sports here in Thailand 🇹🇭 😎
JD is cornering the market in the Shoe Game!
Facts
Tu playera esta chida carnalito 🔥
Thanks 🙏🏾
Monopoly’s are not good for the customer, JD corners the market then when the sneaker business rebounds they can control prices.
@@reyb461 exactly. It's going to be a problem if it rebounds. They're going to hold everything hostage.
Look at revenue/profit per square meter. More stores, bigger stores alone don't mean much
Retail sales per square (foot) here in the us and I actually do and US sneaker store are not even in the race per square footage 😉
Great video always wanted to know what happened to finish line
I bought the Air Flight Hurrache and the Air Trainer 1 Citron for 180 including tax.
This cool Kicks video
Thanks 🙏🏾
DTLR use to run an add that it stood for “DOWN TO LOOK RIGHT”
Now DOwn TOwn Locker ROom”
Hmmmm
Great Video , next stop 100k Silver Play Button ▶️ for Frank , proud sub since 2018
Salute 🫡 to you bro ✌🏾🙏🏾 appreciate you
Thanks as always BIG homie 🫡
Great information video bro
Appreciate it
What up Frank 😮
What’s goodie
New sub here and yeah i found some really good sales at jd sports love the content 👏🏼💯
Learn some new stuff today and enjoyed a fire video. I think I won lol
Glad to hear it!
Love this blog me G🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
Thank you 🙏🏾
Clean Game
I feel like it’s not sustainable to keep all brands. Consolidating will most likely happen.
JD SPORTS ALSO BOUGHT HIBBETT SPORTS FOR 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS… BUT JD SPORTS PAY IS THE HIGHEST OUT OF ALL SNEAKERS STORES
HIBBETT SPORTS IS THE LOWEST PAYING STORE AS WELL
Facts
JD Sports stock doesn't seem to be doing too well. Hopefully, we see further discounts in the near future 😂
It’s funny that in Australia JD sports has no real proper basketball shoes. Yes they have the Jordan’s but no playing shoes. Foot locker rules the basketball shoe selling trade in Australia
Hold on ! The Cortez was your first Nike purchase and You LIVED in NY at that time ? this is not adding up !
One just opened around the corner at the mall.
Why am I supposed to celebrate a monopoly?
Definitely shouldn't because when the market bounces back they're going to hold everything hostage.
@@devilstrider289 they're already doing that now. If there were no monopolies, prices for everything wouldn't be high at all. They would be low, because there would be competition. But when they've bought out all their competition, they charge obscene prices just because they can.
Great video Frank, as someone mentioned in the uk it’s not this good
That’s been consistent in the comments, but why?
@@Ballinonabudget huge selection but nothing unique and no sales items for sure, just popped in yesterday after you vid to see what’s going on
Sneaker Biz 101 👟
wheres JD getting all this money from? seems like when foot locker had champs, WSS, Atmos, and foot action
They made some clever purchases at the correct time. Last year there post tax profit was £917 million
They are some amazing Kappas
this was good
Great video
JD here in spain is horrible, they don't sell anything they sell there in the usa, here they only sell old shoes, no jordan
Pues no sé de qué ciudad eres pero aquí en valencia tienen de todo bro
Bonkers
How someone can received this sneakers
DOJ will eventually try and break this up with the dying of the reseller
cant rmbr the last time i bought retail sneakers lol. reps all the way.
