The remarkable flagship store, covering an expansive 146sq m and completed within a remarkable 14 days, is the first store in UAE and sixth in the GCC region which marks a significant milestone in the extensive expansion of the esteemed Japanese sportswear brand within the UAE.
Emphasising the widespread popularity of ASICS on a global scale, the opening ceremony was graced by the presence of international guest Eilish McColgan, a three-time Olympian and British/European Record Holder for the 10km & 5km.
