JD
Sports has launched a competition that offers entrants the chance
to win one of ten pairs of JD exclusive adidas Originals ZX750s
signed by, former lead singer of The Stone Roses, Ian Brown. Competition
entrants also have the chance to win one of ten copies of
Brown's sixth solo album, 'My Way', which was released 21 September
2009.
The
cover of Brown's latest album has a picture of the singer wearing
a pair of JD exclusive adidas
Originals ZX750s, so fans who already have the album will
be familiar with the trainers.
Matt
Webster, online marketing manager for JD Sports, said: "Music
has always been close to our heart at JD and adidas
Originals have been giving us some of the freshest trainers and
clothing for decades, so we're really pleased to hook up on this
exclusive competition to help celebrate Ian Brown's new album
launching. Plus as the King of Trainers, it was fitting that Ian
wears some JD exclusive adidas Originals ZX750s on the album cover."
To
enter the competition, entrants need to register with the JD
Sports website and then answer one simple question about Ian
Brown. The competition closes 31 October 2009.
The
JD Sports website is also currently running a competition (closes
30 October 2009) giving 6-18 year olds the chance to train with
the Manchester United soccer school.
