ABC MART Opens in Manila 2025

<p>Japan&#x27;s beloved footwear destination is finally making its way to the Philippines. <strong>ABC-MART</strong>, a staple for sneakerheads and everyday shoe lovers across Japan, is opening its first flagship stores in Bonifacio Global City in Fall 2025. Filipino fans of the brand—many of whom frequent ABC-MART during trips to Tokyo or Osaka—will now have access to its signature selection of top global brands, right in the heart of Manila.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175436951385212.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The launch is made possible through a joint venture between <strong>ABC-MART Japan </strong>and <strong>SONAK Retail Group</strong>. The collaboration aims to redefine retail experiences in the country by introducing two retail formats: <strong>ABC-MART Grand Stage </strong>and<strong> ABC-MART Standard</strong>. Grand Stage is the brand’s premium concept, offering elevated shopping with exclusive releases and top-tier selections from cult-favorite brands like <strong>Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, ASICS, Timberland, Vans, Crocs</strong>, and <strong>Salomon</strong>. The flagship Grand Stage store in BGC will span over 750 square meters across two floors.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175436966133313.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175436973233316.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>In contrast, ABC-MART Standard will cater to everyday essentials and lifestyle sneakers, serving a wider demographic looking for variety and value.

It’s a large and dynamic market, and we believe our partnership with SONAK will deliver outstanding outcomes.”</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175436987005317.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>With the continued growth of sneaker heads in the Philippines and trend-savvy shoppers, this new retail experience is set to be a sure-fire hit. </p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photos courtesy of <strong>SONAK Retail Group</strong></em></div>
