Denzel’s Power Suits, Iced-Out Watches, and A$AP Rocky: Spike Lee’s ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ Looks Insanely Stylish

Befitting a story set among the music industry elite, Highest 2 Lowest promises to be catnip for watch-spotters, including a TBD iced-out ticker worn by Washington and the unmistakable gleam of a gold Rolex President bracelet.

ASAP Rocky being ASAP Rocky in Yankees gear

As with most of Spike Lee’s oeuvre, New York City landmarks feature heavily in Highest 2 Lowest, as does the city’s most beloved baseball team. A$AP Rocky’s character, an aspiring rapper named Yung Felon, appears to be a fan, too, judging by the selection of Yankees gear he wears onscreen.

Grail-worthy Streetwear

Judging by the Saint Mxxxxxx x Denim Tears Graffiti Hoodie worn by Trey, David King’s son, his character appears to be as much of a streetwear connoisseur as Lee himself.

Diamonds

A$AP Rocky is no stranger to the realm of diamond-encrusted accessories, but IRL Denzel Washington is decidedly more lowkey. In Highest 2 Lowest, however, the Oscar-winner flaunts a kegger’s worth of ice in the form of a bust-down pinkie ring, a diamond earring, and a bejewelled cross necklace. In the hands of any other director, these might simply be the accoutrements of a high-flying record exec, but Spike Lee isn’t one to let a good metaphor go to waste. In Highest 2 Lowest, the jewellery—along with the suits, watches, and Yankees caps—are sure to be as rife with symbolism as an Air Jordan backpack stuffed with millions in ransom money.
