SHUTTER SHADES Nominated by: Zach AwesomeOff: May 2009 Total Points: 4698 Eyeglass designer Alain Mikli fashioned the 'shutter shade' for Kanye West. And since we all want to be 'that cool', mass produced plastic shutter shades are popping up everywhere. While wearing them, the user is essentially 50% blind, as they feature solid plastic or metal bars that cross in front of your eyes. So they're not exactly practical, they are not exactly safe to wear while doing many mundane tasks like driving a car, playing catch, or walking down a street... but they are very awesome.
