When I went to Good Vibrations last Saturday, I picked up a pair of Shutter Shades, the same kind that were made famous by Kanye West in his “Stronger” music video (see it below).
The glasses are probably the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever bought on a whim, but I don’t regret the purchase because honestly, they’re sorta fun to wear…in a retarded sort of way.
Plus, it feels good to know that I picked them up for dirt cheap at the concert rather than paying a whole lot for them at retail price (see shuttershades.com for retail prices ranging from $25-$40). Man, I’d never pay over $10 for this novelty item that makes no sense to wear.
Oh yeah, they make them now in glow-in-the-dark too for Kanye West’s Glow In The Dark tour.
The glow-in-the-dark shutter shades are $40. Good luck with those, huh.
Anyway, this concludes my stupid post for the day. Cheers!
There an 80’s thing right? I remember one of the Asian triad guys in Big Trouble Little China had a red pair on, I’m sure in the scene when they go pick up the green eyed chick from the airport
RE: Eddie
yeah, they’re mad old.
I don’t think I approve
RE: Yelena
of course not. who would? these things are totally stupid. but i will admit that they’re fun to own.
kanye, i don’t like. his glasses, i like more.
Not for 40 dollars .
WHAT YOU DONT LIKE KANYE !!!!!!!! WHATS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!!!??????BY THE WAY THESE SHADES ARE THE I GOT EVERY COLOR AND GOT ALL THE 2.0 COLORS TOO
I hope you know when I googled imaged a search on “kanye west shades” you were one of the top results. I’m actually going to hopefully see him this Tuesday!
I like the shades…
I can get them for $7 where I live.
I can also get them 2 for $20.
yeah and I agree that they are from the 80s.
I can get the shutter shades 1 for $3 or 2 for $5, I think they r cool. But personally, I would never wear them…
May be somebody knows where I can buy this glasses in NYC?
yeah they go cheap at chinatown.
I find these shades nice… I own two pairs, I got them dirt cheap too. ;)
I would NEVER buy them for retail price! I mean, they’re just for fashion anyway, they don’t serve real purpose except for making you look cool (if you can pull them off) or make you look severely retarded.
I say these shades are nice used in moderation, and if you actually look good in them. Come on, Kanye isn’t the only guy who can pull this look off, trust me, I’ve seen others do it… And no, none of them are Paris Hilton. :P
I would never walk down the street with them on though, for one, you are partially blinded by the shutters and two, from where I come from, street punks are most likely to pick on you for wearing things like that down the street.
Wear them if you can pull them off, if you can’t, don’t. My two cents.
I love my two pair. I got the neon green ones and the glow in the dark ones 2 for 20$ at the mall by my house. I agree, they are particularly dumb and have no function, but they are the coolest part of my wardrobe, and a great conversation piece
i love these glasses, && kanye, he brought them back from likee what, the 80’s? i dont know, i wasnt born yet. anyway, these shutter shades are a major thing where im from, some people shouldnt wear them, but whatever. Im buying like 150 or 200 for my quince thats coming up this march!<33 && the glow in the dark ones, just for me![: whoaa whoo lol :) i.love.shutter.shades.<3
I’m going into DC next month, where can I get these in the Potomac mall area?
preferably in the mall itself :P
I realy like em I don’t have any but hope to get some.
