ECKO Unlimited Streetwear lives on at Metropolis Vintage

ECKO UNLIMITED at METROPOLIS VINTAGE

The ECKO rhino logo is one of the more instantly recognizable animals of the wild streetwear kingdom. Mainly adopted by skate and hip-hop culture when founded by Marc Ecko in 1993, the label hit the mainstream as the 2000’s wore on. Celebs such as Spike Lee and Chuck D. got involved and helped promote to the masses. Since then, the brand has expanded into music, video games, and much more. Meanwhile, Mark Ecko raises money for non-profits, and vintage ECKO Streetwear T-Shirts live on in their own section here at Metropolis Vintage!

Wu-Tang – An American Saga out now!

Have you watched the new WU-TANG docu-drama yet? We’re proud to have a hand in things as they came to us for some vintage ’90s clothing to set the scene properly. Staff member and #1 Wu-Tang fan Larry remembers it well: “Oh my god. Carhartt, like the button down style. Polo stuff, a lot of Polo stuff but not out of the box. Nothing crazy. If you see any generic Polo on there, it’s ours. Polo collared shirts, they bought a few of those. Nautica. Anything Nautica on the show. A lot of colorful stuff.”

“He Loved The American Dream . . . With A Vengeance”

All hail Tony Montana! It’s one of the most enduring cult films of all time – SCARFACE. Some say it’s Pacino’s greatest role of all time. Fortunately, you don’t need a mountain of cash to own a cool vintage T-Shirt from the film. We here at Metropolis Vintage have been keeping an eye peeled, and picking them off one by one. First you get the money, then you get the power . . .

Founded in 1909 by the FILA family, FILA wear was originally marketed to the people of the Italian Alps. After turning to sportswear in the 1970’s and being repped by tennis champion Bjorn Borg, the FILA brand you know and love was born. Now one of the biggest sportswear companies in the world, they’ve got it all – and, if you are one who lives the Red, Blue and White Lifestyle, then Metropolis Vintage has the stuff you’re looking for.
