Usher is intelligent as fuck
Someone who is intelligent wouldn't drop $25 on a cup and some toothpicks
Guess you never heard of supreme
+Kizaru Borsalino $25 is like 25¢ when you compare his bank account to a regular person's
they would if they're worth $180 million
+Kizaru Borsalino someone who is wealthy can
Usher looks like he just stepped off the set of the music video for 'Burn' or something. Dude literally has not aged since 2004.
him and pharrel are half alien so it makes sense
+Alfredo Morales no they just don't do drugs and black don't crack
+Alfredo Morales lol at 1:55 smh like too funny
+Cal Hyphen *half alien, and we're sticking with that for the moment…
lmao so truee
Usher been 29 for 15 years brah
But the man never ages so it's believable
+Pro Habits #blackdontcrack
+Charlie Castro yup
+Charlie Castro just smoke it lol
he's still at his drop top cruisin' the streets at seven o'clock on the dot.
usher a legend, the man hasnt aged since confessions
black dont crack
+Donte Washington say that to floyd mayweather sr lol I'm getting tired of that overused line bro no hate to mayweather
+Donte Washington but black is crack
+Chukuman bruh don't be bitter and insecure. Obviously black people will age badly if they are taking drugs/plastic surgery/ lead an unhealthy lifestyle/ raised in poverty but in general it holds. It's a scientific fact that black people experience less skin damage due to melanin production.
Ar Ra im not, im just tired of hearing that corny innacurate catchprase. And yes youre right
Yoooo my mans bought some toothpicks for 10$. Usher be flexing.
still got that spinach in between ya teeth from last week huh lol
Ushers voting for trump no doubt.

+George Douglas pop rnb music
George Douglas U couldn't be any more of an elite dumbfuck for asking such a question.
+N.A K LMFAOOOOO

agree
I know right
I agree but they would've have as much anticipation.
I feel like they only do it as promo so when their 'guest' comes on they're plugging something
+T1nyDynamite hear that
usher one of the smartest people to come on this show
not saying much to be fair
lmao
that's like saying you the smartest nigga out of all the stupid ones.
SuperRetarded2 true
SuperRetarded2 50 cents was the same thing didn't buy no sneakers except for his son
He said "y'all gonna have to pay me MORE for the Jordan story" I had a feeling complex was paying their guest. At least the heavyweights
The beat in the beginning was amazing
got me hype!
This was a really good episode. Usher was dropping some knowledge.
“Part owner of the cavs”.....
You learn something new every day.
You See How He Curved That Steph Curry Question? BOSS.
Lol he asked him if puff was his daddy taking him shopping.
lol
A
B
C
D
I didn't know much about usher before, heard a few songs, but now I see how awesome he is.
i appreciate the time and editing whoever put into this video
"You gonna have to pay me more than that" dammnnnnn son!!!
that beat at the intro is insane
that beginning beat is so good!
been waiting for one of these for a minute
Usher really such a humble dude
Jordan on speed dial is humble?That's like a divine level flex
BRUH DO YOU KNOW THE PRICES OF SHOES IF THEY WERE MADE IN AMERICA LOOOOL THESE PRICES ALREADY HIGH BRUH
yeahh it should be made whether in Bangladesh or Vietnam with low wages labors
Some New Balances are made in the US/UK and are about 250 Dollars...
+Yoshiya Abiko i have those which was made in UK and its no different than the Chinese or Indonesian made one . i'm fucking pissed off . since everyone on the street never notice that you NB are made in US or UK
+Datuk Rajo *your NB
thats right.....china or usa its the same shit
usher was always one of my favorites. cant wait for the next album
Always looking forward to these
My guy Usher. Would love to see him do an interview where he could dive deeper into some of the things he touched on.
Solid collaboration and appreciate the explanation of culture into the shoe game and how it spans much deeper for some.
lol adidas is a german brand...why should it be american made?
Typical american. If something's good then it has to be american because america (u.s.) is the greatest country.
Marcus Fleetwood no they are propably producing in china or somewhere like nike and everyone else, but if they should produce somewhere else then in their home country...but if they would produce in germany the shoes would be much better quality wise but also much more expensive...
The Ghost of Harambe true
Are Nike made in America? honest question
And adidas are actually trying to bring some manufacturing back to germany
Wow he is very thoughtful and had great things to say
These need to be longer
Such a classy guy always proud to see him represent the culture and good job in hands of stone
The beat for the intro is straight 🔥🔥🔥
yo that opening beat was heat
That beginning beat go hard
What's the name?
Joe: "Did diddy buy you anything?"
usher: "Hell nahh!"
mad respect for usher. loved his answers in tis interview.
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.
Usher is one of the best celebrities to interview with a clam soul
that intro beat tho 🔥🔥
Thank u keep pushing these out
About time you guys do a video
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!
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.
I Love Your Hate preach alot of black men/ kids have been killed, robbed for their Jordan's. Shits crazy.
James Stevens well said man I agree.
+I Love Your Hate
...What, people *choose* to murder others over sneakers it ain't Jordan's fault, it's both the parents of murderers for not teaching that murdering over materialistic goods is wrong and the murderer themself
Complex need to do more of these
I like how Usher broke things down & how he answered a few bullshit questions he probably shouldn't have been asked. Much respect to him very classy👌🏽
Isn't adidas a German company??
Yep. Not like the give a shit about the European market though.
Yup hem and puma since the guys who started both are brothers
+Mikey Tarango usher don't know what he talking about
well i mean if he's talking about manufacturing then sure Adidas produces the shoes in China but same as every other shoe company like Jordan, Nike, and most of New Balance....
Yup!
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.
I looooove this series!!! Keep em coming!!!
Super dope!! Do more of these please!!
my favorite album he made was confessions, who agrees?
Usher is actually so intelligent and cultured it's crazy
Omg excited for his new album 😍👏🏻😩
I've been waitin for this video
Wow he's a lot smarter than I thought lol keep up the good work
“Was diddy going around buying you sneakers?” Usher “hell No”
Why ash that question? That was so awkward
That instrumental is dope at the end
Usher is such a genuine guy
"Was he taking you around buying you sneakers ... ?
Usher : Hell naw 😂😂😂
need this song in my life 🙃
What's is the song in beginin pls
Usher is such a cool guy, very chill& humble
spit that knowledge Ush, tell em how deep our roots run & what gets done for these brands with hip-hop/pop culture.
Usher is a legend
He asked him about currys shoes. I'm so dead he just laughed hahaha
that shop looks amazing! the ceiling was awesome!
love this show
Why would a German company need to be making shoes in America usher huh
That doesn't mean anything. New Balance is an American company but they produce in England and America. Try again.
Founder was a british immigrant.
Haha nice one.
That doesn't mean anything. Toyota is Japanese company that has plenty of us factories. Kanye is American. If anything, they can produce yeezy products in the United States since they're opening yeezy retail stores.
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
One of my best shopping episode
The instrumentals are deadly G
When yall getting Stalley or Curren$y? They both got heat
Usher is so humble man, anything he says is inspiring. Lmao
YASSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS INTELLIGENT ENGLISH AND IS EDUCATED WELL!!!!! I remember listening to usher as a kid!
Moment of silence for that beat in the beginning...
"yeah yeah I took the shoe, I made it gold"
Why is Usher keeps talking about Race Race Race, African American aren't the only ones rocking NMD's... I never even thought about it that way. This is whats wrong with the world sometimes. People find a way to bring the topic up. We are all sneaker heads and thats all that matters.
He himself is African American, hip hop, r&b and sneaker culture started with African Americans. It sounds like he just wants to make sure his race gets credit and is doing well in America.
that's what's wrong with America? bringing up race? sir if u think that that is the problem, ur apart of the problem. it was perfectly well placed in the conversation.
You mad?
+Erica Payne nah come on don't tell me that shit wasn't forced a lil
agreed
Love the sneaker shopping Vids 👟💪🏻
i deeply respect ushers opinions, down to earth type of guy.
Why would Adidas start manufacturing in America lol they've been around in Europe wayyy longer
i didn't care for this nigga but i got mad respeck for him now.
Best Sneaker shopping yet!
Usher had the best responses for these 'Sneaker Shopping With Complex' interviews
name of the first instrumental??
Name of the instrumental at the beginning?
Young Usher! I got a new respect for you King! Great job Great answers! 👑👑👑💪💪💪👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
This is the only why i subs complex
Does ANYBODY know the name of the beat in the intro?
anyone found the intro song?! pls i need it its fucking dope!
Usher is a very knowledgeable dude. Respect.
usher with the wise words! respect
desiigner goes sneaker shoping
auknowuttimeitiz GETGET GRAAAAA
gonna need subtitles for that episode
can anyone tell me the name of the first song of the video?
I didn’t know Usher was a part owner of the Cavs. But that’s tight cause the Cavs are my favorite team ever since I was 5 years old. #CavsNation
Damn Usher dropping knowledge!
Opening music?
Omg I love usher as a person
I wish UK had shoe shops like this.
Because American made would make everything cost more, Usher.
Right
Yeah. Cheap international labor makes it all worthwhile.
+Pernection because it's not an American brand😂😂😂 it German
***** Then I'll start it up then!
Thank you. Finally somebody said it
what is the intro song??
I liked this interview. Usher had a lot of good quotes.
Lmao they charging 10$ for some toothpicks
This video makes me a fan of Usher the man. He seems to be very socially conscious. Black people have a significant cultural influence, but in so many cases, there is a white person who is profiting from it. This is important because a black person making this money would be more likely to pour it back into the black community and help to empower our people economically.
Not really, at that point it becomes about themselves. People rarely go back to where they came from and try to help them out
