"It's your man Vinny Cha$e here, live from SoHo. We in Uniqlo, one of my favorite spots—even before I started rapping. I was looking for something that reminded me of 2003-2004 Harlem. This big, red, oversized snorkel did it for me. I can wear these with some nice skinny Balmain [jeans] or G-Star RAW denim. Thank God i found this [Laughs]." —Vinny Cha$e

TOKIO 7
"This is one of my favorite vintage spots in the city. It's got all the exclusive designer goods I like in one shop, plus it's got some very rare pieces too that you can't just find at your average store… A lot of their stuff is from Japan too, which is always a good spot for unique fashion."—Vinny Cha$e
SUPREME
"[Supreme is] one of the illest stores in New York City. They got a big following that I definitely fuck with. Right now I'm looking at a classic Nike SB shirt that they got in here. For some reason, I like everything classic Nike—especially in the early 80s/90s. It's such an iconic brand, and it's dope to see that on a t-shirt. They actually got a lot of t-shirts here with expensive art printed on them. They got a lot of cool decks too, even though I don't skateboard & shit [Laughs]. I collect the decks though."—Vinny Cha$e
METROPOLIS
"Metropolis is a spot that has some of the dopest vintage apparel around. Especially vintage t's, sweatshirts, jackets and hats from sports teams during the 80's and 90's. These type of clothes never go out of style in my mind. You can't front on a Charles Barkley Phoenix Suns shirt. "—Vinny Cha$e
ZARA
"Zara in particular is one of my favorite places because i really like the fit. Right now we're looking at some dress pants, but with a skinnier bottom leg. These would be dope for a high top kick or a low top piece. It's definitely ill. They take something like camouflage pants—which is ramping in the hood—and got them slim-fitted with some ill detail across the knee."—Vinny Cha$e
