(I'm not arguing with anyone, this is just an observation).....
JD and Sports Direct are two different kinds of retail establishments. JD is where you want your mum (ones mum, this is not a 'your mum' joke) to buy your school trainers from. Sports Direct is where your mum wants to buy your school trainers from as they're so much cheaper. They may have a couple of big brands but they're still low end models. There's no shame at school with a JD Sports bag but turn up with a Sports Direct one and suffer the consequences.
JD do a much higher end product (although essentially they do the same thing).
As a runner, I wouldn't but any of my running stuff from either establishment as they don't carry the products I need, but for those on the 'Gram who want to be seen in all the best gear, JD ticks all those boxes.
Sports wear is big business and, as FF has already said, it has high profit margins. GLA
It's a bit like comparing Waitrose and Iceland. :)
