WSS

WSS opened in 1984 in Los Angeles, when founder Eric Alon chose a busy city neighbourhood over a distant mall. Today it runs over eighty stores across California, Nevada, Arizona and, more recently, Texas, with a focus on working-class and underserved communities. It is a neighbourhood shoe store at heart, selling affordable sneakers and shoes for the whole family.

The edit leans on heritage, sneakers and workwear. Nike, Converse, Asics and Puma sit alongside AVIA, CHARLY, LUGZ and Maui and Son, while Timberland Pro, Caterpillar, Wolverine, Carhartt and Ariat cover the workwear side. Pro Club, Starter and DC Shoes add a sportier, streetwear touch.
