    Usher looks like he just stepped off the set of the music video for 'Burn' or something. Dude literally has not aged since 2004.

      +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.

    • @tomhardy116
      @tomhardy116 6 років тому +25

      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

    • @tomhardy116
      @tomhardy116 6 років тому +12

      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.

      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
