Supply & Demand, JD Sports' own range of athleisure, was previously stocked in JD Sports stores and on getthelabel.com, but the brand has now been relaunched as an exclusive online brand. JD Sports' own-brand athleisure label sells products for men, women and kids, with distinct influences from urban culture, modern hip-hop and grime.
As many retailers are making a push to capitalize on the popularity of athleisure styles, Supply & Demand becoming an online-only label makes its styles all the more exclusive, yet easy to shop.
With its new ecommerce focus, Supply & Demand offers a free 'Click & Collect' option for all orders to be picked up at a post office, as well as next-day delivery for orders placed ahead of 9PM.
