When Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) moved its DIY playground to La Brea back in February, we were curious to see who would scoop up the hardware and garden store's huge home on West Sunset Boulevard. Looks like SoCal footwear retailer Warehouse Shoe Sale (WSS) is settling into the 23,000-square-foot space nicely, because the place is already jam-packed with sneakerheads.

Located at the corner of Sunset and Western across from that forever-under-construction Hollywood Target, WSS stocks a hefty range of sporty footwear brands like Nike, Vans, Converse, Adidas, Puma and Skechers for men, women and kids. This location also features apparel from private labels that have been marked way down.

Take a tour below. Although WSS has already soft launched, swing by the official grand opening on August 2 to catch music, giveaways and more.
WSS Sunset is open Monday through Sunday from 9am to 9pm. Fourth of July hours: 9am to 6pm.
