Shop Spotlight: WEST -- Upper West Side NYC Sneaker Streetwear Boutique
Oct 20, 2008 | Comments 7
NYC's sneaker culture can be broken up the same way a New Yorker would commonly split up the City; Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown. Downtown is dominated by the NoHo/SoHo/LES boutique scene, Midtown is characterized by the large chains stores stretching from from 34th to 42nd, and Uptown means Spanish Harlem/Harlem which features a mix of Mom and Pop's, boutiques, and large chains. Very few would consider the Upper Westside as a location to pick up sneakers and streetwear. WEST, located at 147 W. 72nd Street, has set out to change this. Situated next to the Upper Westside footwear institution that is Tip Top Shoes, WEST brings a touch of the Lower East to the Upper West. WEST regularly stocks top releases from Nike/Nike Sportswear, Jordan Brand, Adidas, Reebok, Vans, CLAE, Timberland, and unlike many of the Sneaker boutiques located Downtown, WEST boasts a healthy Clothing/Apparel stock including 10DEEP, Crooks and Castles, North Face, Penfield, No Mas, Mighty Healthy, Kid Robot, WeSc, NSW, Casio G-Shock, and much more.

This store is fire. living mad uptown (the heights), its the ill trip to hit up the LES for shirts and kicks. The heads here are helpful and know their ****.
good looks.
Great look...congrats!!!
were great when they first opened. have gotten typically snobby and very out of place in terms of attitude for the UWS.
You think coming from Washington height's to L.E.S. is a journey. Try catching the 5 train from NE Bronx to Soho/L.E.S., that train ride is a *****. I'm a have to check West out & hopefully it can save me time from traveling to Soho.
