Cazal Couture Part 2

By an inter Planetary fluke we were working on an article on Cazal glasses when our brother Dynomite of BREAKS FOR DAYS BEATS FOR WEEKS beat us to it! So after letting him know (as biting is illegal, against the law), and in a show of B-Boy solidarity we decided to link the two! Here is part 2! Fooor you!


BREAKS FOR DAYS BEATS FOR WEEKS Cazal Couture Part 1

As many people are aware, Cazal were standard wear for true B-Boys & B-Girls, but since artists like Rick Ross, Mos-Def, Jay-Z, Kanye West have been sporting them of late, the prices are going through the roof on e-bay . The Kool Skool thought we would have a brief look at the hottest shades in Hip-Hop!


Kanye and the film Rocknrolla bumped the price up on these 858's!
