Stone Island, Depop & Day-One Supreme: Vinnie from Sneaker Pharm's Fit Pic Breakdown
In this Fit Pic Breakdown Bonus Episode, Vinnie from Sneaker Pharm walks us through the evolution of his style — from early Depop digs and Stone Island obsessions to Norbit jackets.
Techwear Outside Manchester Chinatown
Stone Island Mesh Shimmer Jacket, Green Kimono, Balaclava, Supreme Hoodie and Topman Beanie
“So this is outside Chinatown, the big monument there in Manchester. Here I was really into tech wear.”
“That was like peak 2017, that was my peak street wear kind of getting outta formal wear, into like, oh, I can dress like this on the street and wear whatever.”
“I’ve never been about like reselling really. So it’s like if I’ve worn it and It’s done mean well, I’ll give it to someone else and then they can have it kind of like they hold it for a bit longer.”
“So no one really wore kimonos, like no one really does. Yeah, but I could get away it ‘cause I’m Asian, right? So then people aren’t gonna be like, what are you doing? So I was like thinking I like suits. And I was like, well, how do you dress a suit differently? And then I wore kimono with a shirt, under a blazer.”

“I could walk so I’m probably like two or three years old, That would’ve been like peak nineties, so that’s like 92, 93 probably.”
“Around the time of eighties, they (parents) would go out and dress themselves in like it was like eighties fashion heavily. My parents were like 20 odd around that time so that’s like peak when you are going out trying to impress people, that’s what was considered cool at the time.”
“I remember like the earliest point where I wanted to play the guitar was in like nursery or primary school. And I obviously couldn’t do it ‘cause it was just massive and I didn’t have the patience. I was like, why am I not good at this?”
Peak Fashion
Norbit Jacket, Uniqlo Trousers and G.H. Bass Loafers
“So this is outside my shop, where we’re sat currently. I am rocking a bit of a Norbit fit.”
“So I saw that (Norbit Jacket) and I was, fuck. I put it off for ages thinking I don’t need it. Then I had the thing with Nike, where they invited me to London. So I was like, right, I need to dress up for this. I didn’t need to but, I felt like it was an excuse to buy this kind of jacket.”
“I like the ties ‘cause it’s like traditional Chinese wear, like Chinese formal wear back in the day.”
“I think he’s (Norbit) definitely taking like traditional kind of garments and kind of made him modern, it’s very snow peak.”
“This photo is taken by a good friend of mine, Jordan Bunker for Vitsoe. It was for the shelving company that I use. Because they’ve decked out my stuff. They’ve been really great.”
“We’re at 28 Dale Street. So just on the top of Northern Quarter.”
