Prior to the tour Usher began working with fashion designer Kirby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss who designed wardrobe for his 2014 NBC's Today Show, MTV Video Music Awards, BET Awards and iHeartRadio Music Festival performances and his appearances of The Voice. Jean-Raymond stated, "Usher is a true performer, he does not lip sync and he dances vigorously so he needs breathable clothing, the Killer comes in a lightweight perforated leather option and the Ryan comes in a mesh option with vents that allow him to breathe! We’ve made several of each for him." For the tour they created a custom Pyer Moss Bike Jacket that he wore over a Pyer Moss Mess Shirt with black cargo pants. Completing the outfit he wore Martin Margiela chain embellished red suede sneakers.
