When you eat lobster for breakfast, your eyewear needs to match that energy. In a recent sit-down with Vintage Frames Company founder Corey Shapiro, rapper 2 Chainz explored the upper echelons of vintage luxury, proving that some pieces aren't just accessories, they’re investments.
If you missed the highlight reel from the Most Expensivest Shit series, here is the breakdown of the legendary frames that defined the day.
The 23k Gold Gucci Rarities
The conversation started with a piece of fashion history: 23-karat gold vintage Gucci glasses. These aren't your standard modern frames; they feature the "old house crest" from the pre-merger era of the Gucci family.
- The Price Tag: $12,000 USD.
- The Vibe: Pure heritage. As Corey pointed out, these are some of the rarest stock glasses in existence.
The Ultra-Custom Cazal 951
Taking things a step further, the duo showcased a pair of Cazal 951s—a silhouette made iconic by legends like MC Hammer, reimagined for the modern mogul. These were "tricked out" with custom gold and diamond additions.
- The Price Tag: $25,000 USD.
- The Vibe: Hip-hop royalty. It’s the perfect blend of 80s nostalgia and high-end jewelry.
The $50,000 Crown Jewel: The Ultra-Iconic D.M.C.s
The finale featured what are arguably the most iconic glasses ever made. Originally worn by Run-D.M.C., these frames were elevated to a staggering 42 carats of diamonds set into the face.
- The Price Tag: $48,000 - $50,000 USD.
- The Vibe: "The sound of wealth." These frames represent the pinnacle of the Vintage Frames philosophy: taking a historical silhouette and making it priceless.
