  • Jack Wills sold to Sports Direct

    Jack Wills sold to Sports Direct

    Struggling UK fashion chain Jack Wills has been bought by Sports Direct for £12.75 million after being placed in administration.

    Sports Direct, owned by retail entrepreneur Mike Ashley, has bought Jack Wills’ stock and taken over its distribution center, 100 stores and employees across the UK and Republic of Ireland in what is known as a “pre-pack administration” deal.

    The fate of the brand’s stores in Hong Kong, Singapore and the US is not yet known with “alternative options being considered” by the company’s directors, according to a statement released overnight.

    The Jack Wills business sold to Sports Direct has about 1700 staff spread across the business, six franchised stores in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Channel Islands, and an e-commerce channel serving 130 countries.

    Pippa Stephens, retail analyst at GlobalData, said that while Mike Ashley has given Jack Wills a much-needed lifeline, she fears he already has far too much on his plate to make the ailing lifestyle brand a priority and implement a successful turnaround strategy.

    “While Ashley recently admitted that he regrets purchasing House of Fraser, significant time and money are still required to resurrect the failing department store retailer, making it the focus if Ashley is to retain his self-penned ‘savior of the high street’ label,” said Stephens.

    “Jack Wills has lost relevance in the UK clothing market as its heavily branded, preppy products no longer appeal to 16-24-year-olds who now prefer more edgy, aspirational brands. Consistent discounting has devalued its full-price proposition, while its stores have lost their appeal and uniqueness.

    “Jack Wills needs to be substantially revamped if it is to revive its desirability, win back shoppers and establish a new loyal customer base. Without sufficient investment in modernizing ranges and improving the in-store experience, we expect it to continue to struggle in today’s competitive youth segment.”

    Private-equity owner BlueGem began canvassing for prospective buyers for Jack Wills early last month after engaging advisory firm KPMG to prepare a review of the business’ prospects. According to companies office records, Jack Wills lost £29.3 million for the year to January 31 last year, and a £28 million cash injection from BlueGem in January this year has been almost exhausted.

  • Nike grows profit, pulls product in China

    Nike grows profit, pulls product in China

    Sportswear brand Nike has revealed its net profit increased to US$4 billion during the 2019 financial year, compared to the previous year, which saw Nike earn US$1.9 billion.

    The large disparity is attributed to the enactment of the Tax Act last year, which raised Nike’s effective tax rate to 55.3 percent – causing a 54 percent drop in profits. In FY19, Nike’s tax rate returned to a more normalized level of 16.1 percent.

    The positive results come at a turbulent time for the sportswear giant, which recently faced a social media backlash in China after Undercover, a Japanese streetwear label it collaborated with on a line of sneakers, shared an Instagram Story with the caption, “No Extradition to China,” and “Go Hong Kong”.

    Nike subsequently pulled the sneakers from its offering in China, according to media reports.

    Nike president, chairman, and chief executive Mark Parker told investors the business is committed to the China market “for decades to come”.

    “We are and remain a brand of China and for China,” Parker told analysts, according to the Financial Times.

    “We’re confident that we’ll continue to grow sport and our business in China for decades to come.”

    On Thursday, Parker told investors FY19 was a pivotal year for the retailer.

    “Our distinctive innovation and digital advantage led to accelerated growth across our complete portfolio, while our brand fuelled deeper relationships with consumers around the globe,” he said in a statement.

    Revenue grew 7 per cent to US$39.1 billion, driven by sportswear, Jordan, and running, as well as strategic investments in innovation and digital led by Nike Direct.

    The Converse brand saw revenue grow 3 per cent to US$1.9 billion, which was mainly driven by double-digit growth in Asia and digital.

    Nike and Retail Prodigy Group have been contacted for comment.

  • Decathlon to Open largest Store in Hong Kong

    Decathlon to Open largest Store in Hong Kong

    French sports company Decathlon will open its third store in Hong Kong this Saturday, 15th June, in Tseung Kwan O as it continues its efforts to make sports accessible to the many in the city.

    The new Decathlon store in Sheung Tak Plaza, with 36,000 sq. ft (3,500sqm) in retail space and access to an outdoor sports playground of equivalent size, is the biggest sports retail store in the city. An array of family-friendly activities across the weekends this month is organised for visitors to enjoy as part of the opening celebrations.

    The Tseung Kwan O store will employ more than 80 full-time Sports Advisors and Leaders, and together with the Causeway Bay and Mongkok stores, Decathlon will see its workforce in Hong Kong increase to 270, from just 8 two years ago. Inspired by the concept of an urban neighbourhood, the new store design will feature 13,000 products from over 70 sports to be touched and tested as well as spaces to create unique social community moments for customers.

    Marc Zielinski, Decathlon Hong Kong Leader, said:

    “We are delighted to be opening our third store in Hong Kong this weekend, and we are proud that the Decathlon Tseung Kwan O store will become the city’s biggest sports retail space. We hope we can inspire more Hongkongers to exercise for a happy and healthy lifestyle. Decathlon aims to make sport accessible to all and we understand sports engagement can be a heavy financial burden to some. This is why we offer high quality products at competitive prices across 70 sports so everyone can have that choice. With the outdoor playground, visitors who are curious about any sport can seek the advice of our specialist Sports Leaders and fully test our products before they buy. We look forward to contributing to a healthier Hong Kong.”

    Earlier today, a number of special guests including partners and local celebrities were treated to a preview of Decathlon’s retail experience highlighted by in-store digital innovations that allow customers to get a complete understanding of any product before the point of purchase.

    A key part of the unique customer journey is the online catalogue of Decathlon products featuring over 13,000 models that is available on the 50” LED screens placed at prominent areas of the store. This means that even if customers cannot find the exact product they desire on the shop floor, they can visit the online catalogue in-store to compare products and learn about all the possibilities conveniently and efficiently. What’s more, customers can checkout autonomously on Decathlon mobile app for a fast and seamless shopping experience. Customers in a hurry will even be able to choose to pick up their online purchase in store in one hour, through Click & Collect 1H service.

    Joyce Tang Lai-ming, one of the four cast members of popular TVB sitcom “Come Home Love: Lo and Behold” who supported a lighting ceremony riding a stationary bike to generate energy through pedal power, commented:

    “Hong Kong is a fast-paced, always on, city. It is hard to find time to even breathe, and exercise can sometimes fall off the radar for all of us. I am a regular hiker, but there are plenty more activities I am curious about that I have yet to try. With so much choice here at Decathlon and a huge space to try things out, I am eager to satisfy my curiosity and experience new sports.”

    Part of the 36,000 sq. ft outdoor sports playground will be transformed into a campsite replicating the famous hiking trails of Hong Kong, while at the same time showcasing Decathlon’s comprehensive range of Mountain products. Over the weekends of 15-16, 22-23, and 29-30 June, visitors are invited to enjoy 28 indoor and outdoor sports activities such as cycling, stand-up paddle, archery, pétanque, and yoga among others. All activities are completely free of charge and a limited edition backpack will be awarded to Decathlon members who join in.

    To further enhance the sports experience for customers, the Decathlon Tseung Kwan O store will host daily experience sharing sessions and sports classes with inspiring athletes from the community such as Edie Hu who swam around Hong Kong Island last year. These interactive sessions aim to encourage members of the public to discover new sports, and to try them with confidence, while cyclists can utilize the free bicycle workshop space to upgrade, or repair their bikes DIY style or with assistance from a Sport Leader.

    Situated by the main entrance of the store, the year-round Hong Kong Sport Heroes photography gallery acknowledges those in the community who are using sports to improve their lives and want to inspire others to follow their path. With a different theme each month, a watersports exhibition with over 30 breathtaking photos will greet visitors as the store opens at 10.30AM on Saturday 15th June.

    In addition, Appysport, whose main investor is Decathlon Hong Kong, has announced the launch of Hong Kong’s first all-in-one sports platform with a mission to make sports practice more accessible in the city. The Hong Kong based company founded in 2019 has started with offering tennis courts on demand that can be easily booked online and will soon expand to other sports and services.

    Appysport will eventually connect sports users, sports coaches, sports associations and sports facilities in order to make it easier for everyone in Hong Kong to practice sports. The ambition of the start up is to play a key role in increasing sports practice in Hong Kong by facilitating access to it.

  • Land Rover Discovery 2020 Sport Details Out

    Land Rover Discovery 2020 Sport Details Out

    Jaguar Land Rover has introduced the 2020 Discovery Sport compact premium SUV and it will be launched in the international markets later this year. According to the company, the new 2020 Discovery Sport strikes a balance between a bold evolution of the original design and the familiarity that comes with no-compromise capability. The trademark design, including the clamshell hood, rising beltline and tapered roof are still very much part of the SUV, but there is an evolution to the design and it certainly looks bolder than before. It gets new front and rear bumpers, grille design and LED lights, which makes it look both sporty and sophisticated.

    Built on the new Land Rover Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA), the 2020 Discovery Sport provides greater versatility and refinement with a new body that is 13 percent stiffer than its predecessor and, together with rigidly-mounted subframes, and the company says that it is now quieter thanks to reduced noise and vibration intrusion into the cabin.

    Inside, the spacious 5+2 interior has been transformed with a completely new infotainment interface and the latest connectivity, plus a more flexible seating arrangement with up to 24 combinations. A new powertrain lineup for 2020 now includes the electrified option of a 48-volt 296 horses developing mild-hybrid (MHEV) engine. The hybrid system uses an engine-mounted belt-integrated starter generator to harvest energy normally lost during deceleration and stores it in an under-floor battery. At speeds below 18 kmph, the engine is designed to shut off when the driver applies the brakes. When pulling away, the stored energy is redeployed to assist the engine under acceleration.

    Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Chief Design Officer said, “Building on the success of the original Discovery Sport, this beautifully proportioned vehicle has been refined, enhancing its characterful exterior which compliments the engaging nature of the interior space,”

    Customers can choose from 12 premium exterior paint colors and the option of a black contrast roof. All S, SE and HSE models feature silver atlas detailing on the grille, tailgate finisher, and badging scripts, while purposeful R-Dynamic vehicles feature Shadow Atlas exterior accents, contrast stitching on the steering wheel and branded treadplates inside.

    The 2020 Discovery Sport comes with the TouchPro  infotainment system as standard, while there’s wireless charging available up front

    The new center console and introduction of more premium materials throughout adds a bit of refinement. There’s a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with capacitive switches, an easy-to-read instrument cluster and a 10-inch Touch Pro infotainment system, all of which are now standard.

    New seats across each of the three rows provide improved comfort and versatility, thanks to the second row 40:20:40 split fold and slide functionality, boosting the possible number of seat combinations to 246. Massage functionality is now also offered for the first time on Discovery Sport in the front row providing improved comfort.

    The 2020 Discovery Sport now gets new cup holders and repositioned storage spaces for third-row passengers, while USB and 12-volt charge points (in total, six and three, respectively) are located throughout the cabin. Front row occupants get to use wireless charging for compatible devices. There’s also a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, an advanced and responsive Land Rover InControl Touch Pro infotainment, fitted standard, which is also available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

    Alongside a new key fob design, owners can add a powered tailgate and the Land Rover Activity Key – all intended to streamline the customer experience. These are available with a series of accessory packs that offer added functionality to the vehicle practicality, connectivity, driver assistance and parking. All-new optional Pet Pack accessories are designed to improve the Discovery Sport experience for owners and pets, alike.

    A new smart rearview mirror, first debuted on the new Range Rover Evoque, called ‘ClearSight Rear View’ is also available on the Discovery Sport for the first time; transforming the rearview mirror into an HD video screen at the touch of a button to display a rear-facing camera feed onto the mirror ensuring the driver’s view remains unrestricted by passengers or large items in the back. The new system also provides a wider 50-degree field of vision using a camera positioned above the rear window and delivers clearer visibility in low light conditions. Another new technology called ‘ClearSight Ground View’ has also been introduced to help drivers navigate high city curbs or tackle rough terrain by projecting camera imagery that offers a virtual 180-degree view beneath the vehicle onto the central touchscreen. This is the realization of ‘Transparent Bonnet’ technology, first previewed by Land Rover in 2014.

    A suite of advanced driver assistance systems is offered across all models, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist, which centers the vehicle in the lane based on road markings as well as maintains a following distance from the vehicle in front. Other available advanced driver assistance technologies include Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Driver Condition Monitor.

    Of course, the company will launch the car in India but it won’t be this year. Land Rover will look at the second half of 2020 to bring this car into the Indian market.

  • Danish fashion label Hummel Opening in India

    Danish fashion label Hummel Opening in India

    Hummel India has signed up a Bollywood actor to help promote its launch in the country.

    Kartik Aaryan, described by one local media outlet as “the nation’s heartthrob and nation’s crush” has been appointed Hummel’s chief ambassador in India for the Danish sportswear label.

    Founded in 1932, Hummel produces clothing ranging from swimwear to casual streetwear and sneakers. It has already opened five stores in India and plans another 10 by the end of the financial year.

    The first five stores are franchised and have opened in Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, Surat and Amritsar.

    Aaryan made his debut for the brand at a recent launch event in Bangalore.

    “In Hummel, I see a perfect fit. Hummel appeals to my style sensibilities, it is bold, fashionable, creative and youthful,” the actor told the audience.

    “I am excited that Hummel has entered the retail space and I am sure that the Indian audience will love the designs that Hummel has brought to India.”

    Soumava Naskar, MD of Hummel India, says the brand’s merchandise was available on Jabong and Myntra in 2016 but the company stopped selling directly to both the platforms in 2017 because it had no pricing control.

    “Three months ago, we listed our merchandise on Amazon and Flipkart via our partner ND Commerce, which manages our online stores and handles pricing control too. Which means, if customers receive discounts on our end-of-season products on Amazon or Flipkart, they will receive the same discounts in our physical stores as well. This is our first promise to Indian customers.”

    Hummel, owned by Thornico Group, is currently sold in more than 35 countries. It has more than 250 mono-brand stores and expects to achieve US$1.5 billion in turnover this calendar year.

  • Ferrari Considering Netflix And esports Involvement

    Ferrari Considering Netflix And esports Involvement

    Ferrari is considering engaging with Netflix on a second Formula One documentary as well as joining the rest of the 10 teams in the esports world championship, team boss Mattia Binotto said on Friday. Ferrari and champions Mercedes did not cooperate on the successful ‘Drive to Survive’ 10-part fly-on-the-wall series filmed by Netflix last season, arguing that they needed to focus on the title battle. When their cars or drivers did feature, it was from the official world feed television footage.”It’s certainly an interesting program. We were not participating last season as Ferrari,” Binotto told reporters at the Spanish Grand Prix, the fifth round of the 21 race championship.

    “We are considering it at the moment. We have not taken our final decision, so it’s something we will do in the next few weeks.”

    Formula One’s managing director Sean Bratches said this month that he expected a second series to go ahead, with filming already underway. Ferrari is the only ones without a presence in the official F1 esports championship, which is in its third season and involves the teams only later in the year. Mercedes won both titles last year, as in the real world.

    Binotto said Ferrari’s stance on that could change as well.

    “Esport is increasing in terms of interest and certainly as Ferrari, we are looking seriously into it,” he said.

    “We are not yet fully committed to the program but it’s something where the discussions are ongoing and we will very soon make our own decision.”
