Great news - thanks for the heads up!
Prices will undoubtedly be high, but from what I've seen at other stores selling genuine MC products, also with high prices, business is booming.
any info what date they will open?
if your desperate, contact the HK Dainese shop, they provided the info while I visited the HK shop.....Quote:

for what's its worth, bought gear in Dainese D-Stores in Singapore and HK cheaper compared to USA / EU / AUS, sizing is usually an issue for me as the Asian stores carry mostly smaller / shorter sizes but as the saying goes each to their own.....
-shipping and possible import duty plays a role as well and might offset buying imported biker gear in China-
well i will have a look there when its opened

This is more or less relevant. I bought this dainese summer jacket on taobao for 488 kuai.

I don't know how it's so cheap, but the quality is legit. Had it for a year already, no issues to report. Like all dainese jackets it just came with elbow and shoulder protection, back protector is sold separately. The protection pads are identical to those on my european-bought dainese jacket and the back protector i already have fits in there perfectly.
The jacket is great by the way. I don't know for how long i could slide along tarmac before my nipples got hard, but at speeds above 30kph it feels like wearing a tshirt.
Ah, ok - I know that place - there is a large Pet Shop on the second floor. That sign "coming soon" has been there a while - I'd forgotten about it.Quote:
