What’s up with Brandon Jennings’ slotted shades?
Before we even begin to discuss how dope or funky these slotted shades — aka Shutter Shades – are, let us set the record straight as to who rocked them first. At the beginning of 2008, Kanye West used the shutter shades to help promote his summer Glow in the Dark Tour, then they became a big part of his concert. The rapper even had a reader send in a picture of a baby with a pair of the shades on, which Kanye posted on his blog. But as Brandon Jennings proved at the McDonald’s All-American game with his Gumby hair cut, he’s very fashionably loud. So what better to go with the high flat top than a pair of Kanye-esc slotted shades? It’s not like Jennings had to look very far to get them. You can get one white pair for $3.95 or a dozen white pairs of the slotted shades for $15. If you’re more into a name brand and more colors, Shutter Shades is your outlet. But no matter where Jennings got his Shutters, one thing is for sure: just like Kanye, he’s an international icon now. Hair. Shades.
