Customers pay a £14.99 delivery fee to get their Nike, Adidas or Reebok favourites in 120 minutes.

The “ultra fast delivery” tie-up between Deliveroo and JD Sports is being trialled in select UK stores.

Staff at the outlets, including one in Liverpool, are understood to be receiving training for Deliveroo orders.

JD Sports said: “The prospect of a partnership is exciting but any future decisions will be subject to further testing.”

JD Sports, founded in Bury, Gtr Manchester in 1983, has become one of the high street’s best-known sports retailers.

And Deliveroo has gone from strength to strength since launching in 2013, with customers now able to get groceries dropped off in minutes.

But experts fear the nation is becoming too dependent on deliveries after on-demand dining surged by 100 per cent after Covid.

Some 70 per cent of Brits use delivery apps, according to YouGov data.
