In the 80s Cazal created his own style of glasses which stands meanwhile for extravagance and quality at the highest level. 25 years ago he gained dubious fame in the USA when two people were killed for one of his popular models. The Cazal 607 is one of those precious models since it was a steady component of the American Hip-Hop scene in the 80s. One good example: the Band Run DMC wore this model at numerous appearances and are pictured with them on various record covers. Even the book "Back in the days" written by Jamel Shabazz describes in detail the American Hip-Hop culture of that time and offers countless pictures of the Cazal 607. Cari Zalloni himself wore a Cazal 163. A lot of celebrities still dress up with a Cazal made in "W.Germany". The inscription "Made in West Germany" is of utter importance; if you wish to make sure that you are buying and/or possess originals. Various models were reproduced and appeared on the market after the reunification of Germany. Only the "First Editions" carry the label "Made in West Germany" and remind us that before the decades before the 90s Germany was divided.

Air Jordan 5 Commercial
The original Air Jordan 5 was released in February 1990, again designed by Hatfield. Some elements were the same from the Air Jordan 4, but the Air Jordan 5's most distinctive feature is arguably its reflective tongue. There was also another innovation: clear rubber soles. The soles gave the shoe a whole new and unique look.
The Air Jordan V also featured a base top with lace locks, making strapping on the shoe easy. The lace lock feature partly inspired the Air Jordan Spiz'ike. The Air Jordan 5 model is considered to have the best structure and design to wear during basketball games and sold the most pairs of shoes from the Air Jordan line.
Air Jordan 5 LS (Deep Burgundy/Lt Graphite-Silver) Limited Life Style Edition
Hatfield is believed to have drawn inspiration for the Air Jordan 5 from the World War II Mustang fighter plane; which is most notably visible in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole. The Air Jordan 5 was retroed in 2000 to great demand. In 2006 several re-retro 5's had released including the very popular LS "Grape" V's, the LS "burgundy" V's and the popular "Fire-Red" V's.Dienstag, 13. Januar 2009

Air Jordan 3 Commercial
The “Fire Red” Air Jordan 3 was the last of the original colorways to be retroed when it finally returned 18 years after its debut in 1988.
The Air Jordan 3 were also famous for the humorous ads depicting Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon—the character he played in his film She's Gotta Have It. This campaign was known as "Mars and Mike" ad campaign. This was one Nike's most successful advertisement campaigns.
This was said to be Michael Jordan's favourite shoes, he wore it during the 1988 Dunk Championship (which he won) and many other historical events in his basketball career. The Air Jordan 3's had poor sales when first retroed in 1994. However when they were re-retroed they sold out instantly. A pair of the Air Jordan 3 model can be sold for over 300 dollars. The long awaited "Fire Red" Air Jordan 3 was released in March 2007.
Air Jordan 3 Retro (white / fire red / cement grey)
The Air Jordan 3 was designed by Tinker Hatfield. It was the first Air Jordan to feature a visible air unit on the heel, the new Jumpman logo, an elephant print trim, and tumble leather for a luxury look.
