West NYC is best known for its most recent collaborations with Saucony. However, the shop has cooked up some special-edition T-shirts that pay homage to another NYC institution, Gray's Papaya, which unfortunately closed down after opening in 1973. For those not in NYC, both West and Gray's called 72nd street home.

Gray's sold hot dogs and West sells sneakers, but this T is necessary for any New Yorker or sneakerhead. According to West, the shirts are available in sizes small-3xl in both black and burgundy. West's store is located at 147 W 72nd St, New York, NY 10023.
