The film New Jack City, released in 1991, is something that both established a genre while celebrating the moment of time in which it came to be. Staring Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown, the "started from the bottom" crack kingpin who built up an empire while facing off against the street-hardened cop Detective Appleton, played by Ice-T. Set against an especially grimy backdrop of New York, the film was an instant classic, and that included the early-'90s style that was portrayed. From Kangols and Dookie chains to high top fades and boxy suits, prepare to get nostalgic and maybe even influenced by The Best Outfits from New Jack City.
