Killer Frames circa 1984

cazals

Flash back to the past. This article was out of New Yorker Magazine circa 1984, if I remember right . Killer frames they were for sure. If you walked the streets in the 80’s then you know the deal on these frames and how of a big deal it was to have them. Just walking out the house with these glasses on could take you on an wild life adventure if you weren’t prepared. Like Mos Def said, in his song Habitat, ” To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped / With the jungle cats, lions and tigers, leopards and cheetahs / For gazelle (cazals) you get chased like a zebra…”

The 80’s was one hell of a decade.
