Jay-Z was sighted wearing the shoes last month when he headed to the Spotted Pig restaurant. Usher also wore the shoes this week while visiting the USS Kearsarge in new York during Fleet Week. Which one of the guys rock’d it better?

Jay takes this one. I like the jeans better with the sneakers and the beige/tan jacket as opposed to Usher’s shirt.

Jigga’s jeans are a little too 2003 for me (the washed out thing) so I gave this one to Usher

The sneaks are fire. Ursh gets this one. He looks like a man.
Jay looks like a kid in baggy clothes, and his jeans are dated.

Neither are actually Showing off the SNEAKER actually…Jay’s Jeans are *Blah* and Usher’s shirt is too loose it should be much more fitted. They literally have on the Same color scheme. Jay’s too baggy tho…I say Ursh.

I think they rocked it well.
And I like their overall appearance for several reasons.
Jay z- the fabric of jacket is beautiful. I hardly see guys rock such. I hate his jeans though.
Usher- The jacket’s fit is perfect. The jacket’s fit is sexy. He doesn’t look gay in it. He looks more stylish. I would pick Usher’s overall appearance anytime.

DEF my baby Jay. His jacket’s material goes very nicely with the sneakers. Jay looks very fresh, so does Usher, but Usher’s pants don’t look right with his smeakers. Some jeans colors just don’t match shoes, his are OKAY but I think Jay’s jeans look better with them. And his T-shirt tops it off.
Jay is too sexy, and I can’t take it anymore..YEAH I SAID IT….SHIT….
@16, I thought I was the only one!!

Some of yall are not being fair just because you like the person better. The question is who rocked it better ? Not who you like better. I voted both to because they’re rocking in their own swagger style, which to me is showing you how to rock it both ways. Good look Fellas.

well i think the outfits are similar, however they both have a different sense of style, USHER- is more metro with the smaller fit clothes which i think in this instance looks ok, and JAY - Z has the more hard core look which i think he usually portrays.

Ya know! Black folks grate Mariah like cheese for not dressing her age. Yet, Jay is damn near 50 and walking around looking like he lost the way to his high school. He’s too dang old to be wearing this ish and walking around like he haven’t a clue. He needs to leave this for Chris Brown, Bow, Romeo,etc… It’s like hes dressing young to impress Bey, and she dresses old to look settled for him. SMDH!
Sigh, I say Usher has this one. He’s has pulled it together in a much more sophisticated way.

There’s alot of Followers on here. One person says Jay have swagg, and all of sudden 20 more ppl want to say the same thing. I think Usher have this one on lock. Jay is too damn old to be dressing like a 20 year old.

Usher…simply because he looks age appropriate.

I totally agree with you Charden. It does seem as though Beyonce is trying to be way too mature in her style of dress (the “married, first lady, Jackie Kennedy Onasis meets Thelma from ‘Mama’s Family” look) while Jay’s dressing as though he’s clinging to his youth. Lames.

ima say Usher…the shoes are hella ugly but Usher’s outfit is more sophisticated and I agree Jay-z dresses like he’s 16 he wears suits well but when it comes to casual clothes he doesn’t know what to do

Jay takes this one. I like the jeans better with the sneakers and the beige/tan jacket as opposed to Usher’s shirt.
some young and handsome men @ WEALTHY CHAT.com are interested in it as well. Meanwhile, they want to find a rich woman to support and pamper with. Go @ WEALTHY CHAT.com

I give it to Usher mainly because of how his top half fits nicely. I like Jays jeans better though.

An Usher Update:
“Usher’s new album was illegally downloaded more than half a million times before its release this week - costing the star a fortune in royalties. Here I Stand appeared online in its entirety a week before it was officially launched, and internet programs managed to track the number of times it was downloaded.The album and individual leaked tracks were downloaded a total of 554,716 times via BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing application, alone.”
DAMN SHAME
