147 west 72nd street - new york, ny 10023 | 212.787.8595

New York City based retail shop, WEST, teamed up with the world famous Ricky Powell to bring you a series of three limited edition shirts. The Mike Tyson photo was taken at Studio 54 during a Public Enemy show the night after Tyson’s infamous street brawl with Mitch “Blood” Green in Harlem, circa 1988. Ricky snapped this picture of DMC, of Run DMC during the summer of 1987 in Hollis Queens, New York. Finally, the third image was taken in Venice Italy in 2000. The tranquility that is represented thru the image is astounding. Sneakers, champagne and relaxation.

Dropping Thursday May 20th, all three shirts are available in both black and white. Phone orders will be accepted 212-787-8595
