Bro, don’t nobody know what whole hoods are doing because everyone ain’t living everywhere. The people with followers, clout and fame are the face of trends and I think P, Three Six and currently, Quavo when I think Cartier shades, not Detroit
This coming from someone who ain’t even deep into this shyt and on the other side of the country. Us casuals in other sides of the country don’t see Detroit when we see this
NYC kinda did make Pelle’s a mainstay in Hip Hop. All the NY rappers/celebs in the early 90’s had them in their videos or wore them in photos from Nas to Guru from Gang Starr to Keith Sweat. Pelle’s became mainstream in 91’ when Ted Danson, the Fresh Prince and Arsenio and hella guests on his show wore Pelle’s on national TV. Pelle’s could have been only a local Detroit/Chicago phenomenon if NYC hadn’t picked up on them in the 90’s. Or they coulda got played out quickly nationwide like 8ball jackets. No offense, but there were no major rappers from the D in the early 90’s sporting Pelle’s on TV.
And North Face coats have become a NY meme.
Nah brehOnly 25 years?ver heard a man by the name of E-40?And he wasnt the only one either btw. Bay nikkas been rocking Cartiers since the 80's to my knowledge. Ive seen the pictures and wouldnt lie. But like someone said,it was a look for the dopeboys.
This is true. Detroit basically made buffs and woods like what Jordans are every where else. Even broke nikkas going to find the money or rob in order to have em. Detroit definitely the only place you will see a club full of people with buffs on. But I would still say thats a local anomoly. Not sure if I would say Detroit started a nationwide trend. I might argue Migos did more for the Cartier trend nationally than Detroit.
In terms of hiphop,the honor once again goes to the oasis. Home of the trendsetters,the bay

I get it, I’m from the Bay, we was rocking North Face in the hood way back in the 80’s probably before anybody too because The North Face was a San Francisco brand. There are videos on YouTube of nikkas in the hood in SF rocking North Face mountain jackets in the 80’s and this can be fact checked. That’s why Larry June uses that mountain jacket as a part of his aesthetic because it’s classic old school Frisco style. But everyone in the fashion world wanna give all the credit to NY cacs of “prep school gangsters” in the mid 90’s for making North Face a thing.
). Cats are stuck with a 90's on down vision of the city unfairly facilitated by what they see on the news . One thing that hasn't changed is folks still come to city to take and try to flip as their own.
Just got mine in today in RED woods
