Cazal frames have been a hip-hop staple since the Run-DMC era, and they're definitely making a strong comeback this year. Fab, Jay-Z, and Diddy have made these old-school glasses the 'must-have' of the season. But who owned the look? We'll leave that up to you. Vote who wore it better and get your own pair of Cazals below...

Cazal's were ugly when the first came out and just cause the masss deem them popular, cool and trendsetting does not change the fact.

Nah,Jay wasnt the first to rock these old school 80s cats like myself been wearing these joints since the 80s as well as Hip-Hop dudes.

Not the same glasses Fab is rockin a custom 607 Puff is rockin a tortoise 616 Jay is rockin a polished black small frame 607 (could be a re-issue) Hands down Puff rockin the vintage tortoise 616 blows both Fab and Jay out of the water. The 607 has been re-issued in the small version numerous times. If its a large model vintage 607, then its heat, otherwise 607s are a dime a dozen. Puff's vintage 616 has never been re-issued and is extremely rare. The 616 is the same model (only in black) that Spike Lee wore as the character Mars Blackmon. 616 FTW.

You dead on sun Jay got the new joints not the deadstocks like Puff, Fab got on some 607s I never saw before.I like the 607s I got the re-issue Black and the Clear.I saw some Gray & clear 616s on Vintagesunglasses.com for $1400 two cats had the Tortoise Brown on ebay last week one went for $255 the other $305. I agree 616 hands down baby, go to pookside.blogspot.com to see a vintage clear pair.

Correction: Fab is rockin a pair of Doubledown NYC Eightyfourseries. Not vintage, and a knock off of the 607 frame. I hope he got paid for wearing those.

bigboy March 28th, 2010 at 04:04 PM

Fabolous looks like a douche wearing them. Diddy is rocking the official 616 joints. They don't look right on Jay Z but then I don't think any sunglasses would look right on him. It's all about getting vintage official deadstock stuff; copped a pair of vintage 616 joints two years ago for $700 from some German eyeglass store, and a pair of vintage 607 tortoise joints from a Paris seller for $199 - the original 607's are slightly different than the new ones made by Cazal.
