From the moment Kanye first donned them in 2007, the shutter shades were instantly identified as a distinctly ’80s accessory. However, visual evidence of the glasses from the period is harder to come by than I had anticipated. In the end, I was only able to find two exhibits of the glasses from their alleged decade of origin. The first is the1985 film “The Last Dragon,” in which they were worn by the character Sho’Nuff. The second is the music video for Animotion’s hit 1985 single, “Obsession.”

Thank you Pat Cassels for recognizing Kanye’s steelo jack. I would also like to pettily point out that I blogged about this very issue last week. Of course, PCassels’ post is about 1,968 times better so read his instead.
