Nine West has long been an accessible American footwear name with broad, on-trend styles, so it is worth it if you want fashionable shoes at an everyday price rather than investment heels. Reviews are mixed on durability over the years, so treat the buy as a stylish wardrobe-filler rather than a forever pair. For seasonal trends at a friendly price, it earns its place.
Many shoppers find Nine West runs largely true to size, though fit can vary between styles and widths, with some heels feeling slightly roomy and some sandals fitting differently from boots. As with most footwear, comfort depends on the specific style and your foot shape. Checking the size chart for the exact pair is the safest bet.
Nine West was founded as a fashion footwear brand, then expanded widely into handbags, sunglasses, jewelry, belts, watches, hats, scarves and more, with handbags launching in 1995. After that it added dresses, suits and children's footwear too. Today it is a full accessories-and-footwear name rather than shoes alone.
The brand was named for its founding location at 9 West 57th Street in New York City, in the Solow Building. It opened its first specialty retail store in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1983. The address quite literally became the name.
Nine West is an American fashion retailer based in White Plains, New York, founded in 1983. It opened its first store that year in Stamford, Connecticut, and launched its first national ad campaign in 1986. From there it grew into a brand sold in over 800 locations across 57 countries.
Nine West closed its brick-and-mortar store business in 2018 after its North American operations filed for bankruptcy, and it now operates primarily as an online fashion retailer. Its products continue to be sold through other retailers as well. So you will find it online and via partner stores rather than its own shops.
After its 2018 bankruptcy, the Nine West brand was acquired out of bankruptcy by Authentic Brands Group. That ownership is why the name lives on as a licensed, largely online brand. Its products are distributed through a range of retail partners today.
Yes. In 2006 Nine West collaborated with Vivienne Westwood, Thakoon and Sophia Kokosalaki on limited-edition capsule collections, and in 2009 it teamed with New Balance on a footwear collection. Fred Allard served as Creative Director from 2006. These tie-ups gave the accessible brand moments of higher-fashion credibility.
Nine West first expanded internationally in 1994 with a Hong Kong location and went on to be retailed in over 800 outlets across 57 countries. Along the way it acquired footwear businesses including the Easy Spirit brand and London's Pied a Terre. That aggressive expansion made it a global high-street footwear name.
