Victor’s Footwear & Apparel, which opened less than a year ago in New Jersey, has now expanded to the shoe mecca of the Bronx: Fordham Road. It is Victor’s only location in New York.
In addition to shoes, the store sells men’s graphic tees and shirts as well as fitted caps and hats.
Prices are competitive with custom Nike SB Dunks and Blazers running as low as $50.
Store workers, Calvin Bello, 20, and Miguel Gutierez, 21, say the prices are low to attract customers.
Other well known brands being sold include: Supra, G-Shock, Rock Smith, Dockers, Gore-Tex, Nike, Kid Robot, Crooks & Castles, Play Clothes, etc.
Bello says, “The store’s stuff has a more urban and downtown-look to it, so as to attract a lot of people.”
Ed. Note: Victor’s Footwear & Apparel is located at 207 E. Fordham Road near the Grand Concourse.

Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
