+Chukuman bruh don't be bitter and insecure. Obviously black people will age badly if they are taking drugs/plastic surgery/ lead an unhealthy lifestyle/ raised in poverty but in general it holds. It's a scientific fact that black people experience less skin damage due to melanin production.

I looooove this series!!! Keep em coming!!!
You gotta love this man! Usher is a very intelligent dude who's very empathetic. And a lot of this is shown in this episode. Plus he likes footscapes, them shits is fire!
These need to be longer
I've been waitin for this video
I'm glad Usher pointed out them Air Force 180s. I copped those over the summer because I too wanted them as a kid. I'm glad they got slept on.
that intro beat tho 🔥🔥
“Was diddy going around buying you sneakers?” Usher “hell No” Why ash that question? That was so awkward
Usher is such a genuine guy
About time you guys do a video
my favorite album he made was confessions, who agrees?
Its funny how Usher says what has Adidas done for the African American Community but don't ask what has Michael Jordan done for the African American community but rip them off for high price sneakers.

I had to stop watching because he comes off as intelligent for people with a lack of information, but in reality it's just an opinion. In reality all he's done is contradict himself, he himself said that people can go without paying rent or something for these trainers and tries to somehow imply that they do anything 'good' for people lol. They just look cool, simple as that. Builds confidence yeah, but it's a damn shoe, if that defines a person they need to wake up a bit

I Love Your Hate - Well I wouldn't expect the man to pay for the funeral. He did not pull the trigger or even force them into a position to buy the shoes. If people are aware that they'd get killed for their trainers, then don't buy the damn trainers lol. Buy some simple Adidas; something that looks good, is fairly affordable (I remember when I got my first damn pair for like £35, we were broke but I loved em lol) and won't get you shot... There is a problem in the black community, quite a few, but seems a lot of the time a large proportion rather point the finger at someone else.

Thank u keep pushing these out
Damn, I always liked Usher, but I have even more respect for him now. The guys is clearly intelligent and seems to have a genuine interest in social issues and how to help communities with the culture he's a part of. Respect.
"Was he taking you around buying you sneakers ... ? Usher : Hell naw 😂😂😂

Usher be tripping Nike is an american brand all of the shoes are made in china and vietnam bruh. for GR shoes it would be way more expensive to produce in the developed countries. On the other hand it would be dope if they produce the limited edition or collab sneakers in the states or england so the build quality on point
started off with 3 pairs and ended with 6 pairs, a mug and toothpicks. "this is my comission, just when i thought i said all i can say..." lmao
The young dro hangout though..
