30/01/2024

Japanese athletic brand Descente has chosen Nanjing’s high-end Deji Plaza shopping mall as the launch pad for its roll-out of physical children's sports shoe and clothing locations.

Designed for those who shop for youngsters aged seven to 14 years old in mind, the opening underscores Toshima-based Descente’s faith in the premium-priced outdoor category’s continued growth trajectory, Chinese media said.

The business has appointed 12-year-old local skier Zhou Yizhu to front the accompanying promotional campaign.
