PUMA and A$AP Rocky Surprise Manchester With Exclusive Shirt

PUMA and A$AP Rocky are stepping into Manchester City's colours this week with a limited-edition PUMA Manchester City shirt. The rapper designed the line himself, inspired by his upcoming album "Don't Be Dumb". From September 4, the PUMA Manchester City shirt lands in Manchester stores while stocks last, timed right around his concert at Co-op Live.

This version of the PUMA Manchester City shirt is a longsleeve in black and archive gold, featuring "DON'T BE DUMB" running down the sleeve and a bold "MANCHESTER" graphic across the back. There's also a players-only edition in sky blue, meant purely as a gift for the squad, with subtle "D.B.D." detailing and a stop-sign graphic reading "STOP SNITCHIN, MANCHESTER". Fans can also get their own 26/27 shirt printed with "A$AP 11" as name and number.

The release runs across two moments. On Friday, September 4, sales kick off at the "Don't Be Dumb Caff" pop-up in Black Milk, Northern Quarter. A day later, on Saturday, September 5 from 9:30am, the Stadium Store follows. It's first-come, first-served, with no reservations. Arndale stores also offer name and number printing on your own shirt. A$AP Rocky stressed that the collaboration blends his own vision with the club's identity: "PUMA's got deep roots with Manchester City, and I wanted to bring my own perspective. We created something that feels true to my design language." A similar PUMA shirt for AC Milan follows shortly after in Milan, where the rapper carries the same "Don't Be Dumb" concept over to another club legend.

Looking for the PUMA Manchester City shirt from the regular collection? At PUMA you'll find the club's standard kit range online; this special A$AP Rocky collaboration is only sold in person in Manchester.
