As he prepares for his highly anticipated Halftime Show performance at Super Bowl LVIII, Usher has landed another exciting gig: the face of SKIMSโ€™ latest menโ€™s campaign. Captured by Donna Trope, the campaign showcases the iconic musician in the brandโ€™s newest โ€œStretchโ€ and โ€œCottonโ€ pieces.

Usher is the latest male celebrity to partner with SKIMS, following in the footsteps of stars such as Neymar Jr., Nick Bosa, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Patrick Mahomes. These prominent figures have fronted campaigns for the brandโ€™s menโ€™s division since its launch in October 2020.

โ€œI was so humbled when I was asked to partner with SKIMS Mens,โ€ said Usher in a statement. โ€œKim has been a longtime friend whoโ€™s always been so supportive of my work, so the opportunity to collaborate together on a campaign that supports both of our highly anticipated launches made total sense.โ€

โ€œThis campaign arrives ahead of multiple career milestones and feels like a full circle moment,โ€ he added. Itโ€™s worth noting that the campaign comes out before Usherโ€™s upcoming album, COMING HOME, which is set to release on February 9. Fans can even snag an exclusive digital download version of the record featuring an alternative cover and a bonus track titled โ€œNakedโ€ via SKIMSโ€™ webstore.
