When it comes to vintage sunglasses, Cazal is arguably one of the biggest, if not the biggest, contenders in the eyewear industry. Although Cazal is based in Germany, their impact on the American hip-hop industry is immense. Cazal's extravagant collections and the high-quality materials used to create these legendary frames are nothing short of remarkable.
Hip-hop legends like Run DMC were known to wear Cazal, but the frames were out of reach for many inner-city fans due to their high price tag. Some would go to great lengths to snatch Cazal sunglasses, and lives were sometimes at stake.
Today, vintage Cazal glasses remain a staple accessory for many hip-hop titans, such as Rick Ross (who even has the Cazal logo tattooed on his face), Outkast's Big Boi, Jay-Z, and Mos Def.
