Translating the visual world of his 2026 album “Don’t Be Dumb” onto limited-edition shirts, A$AP Rocky has combined his own unique design language with Manchester City ahead of his performance at the Co-op Live arena on Saturday, 5 September.
The design leans into the club’s forward-facing identity - a team built on reinvention finds a natural partner in A$AP Rocky’s own restless creative streak.
The jersey arrives in a colourway of black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and a bold “MANCHESTER” graphic across the back, putting the city itself front and centre.
Fans can also get their hands on their favourite 26/27 Home, Away or Third jersey with limited edition A$AP 11 name and number printing while stocks last.
A players-only gift edition stays closer to City’s core sky-blue identity, with A$AP detailing on the front and sleeves and an unmissable stop-sign graphic reading “STOP SNITCHIN, MANCHESTER” across the back.
A$AP Rocky said: “PUMA’s got deep roots with Manchester City, and I wanted to bring my own perspective. We created something that feels true to my design language and the Don’t Be Dumb ethos, while still honoring the club’s legacy.”
Dominique Gathier, PUMA VP Teamsport said: “A$AP Rocky brings a creative energy to everything he touches and this collection is a natural extension of what our partnership stands for – taking football into spaces it does not normally occupy and doing it with a level of craft and intention that feels right for both the clubs and for him”.
The launch will be marked by a city-wide activation in Manchester. On Friday 4 September, PUMA will transform Black Milk in the iconic location of Manchester’s Northern Quarter into “Don’t Be Dumb Caff” for one night only, giving fans an exclusive way to experience the collection ahead of A$AP Rocky’s Manchester concert the following night.
The event will bring fans and the local community together to celebrate the collection through football, music and street culture.
The A$AP Rocky x PUMA x Man City collection is available for sale exclusively in Manchester on a first-come-first-served basis.
The longsleeve jersey will first go on sale at the city centre event on 4 September, with doors open from 16.00 UK.
The A$AP 11 special edition name and number will be on sale at the event in the evening, and the official Man City Stadium and Arndale Stores from 4 September.
A second drop of the limited edition longsleeve jerseys will go on sale in the Stadium Store on 5 September from opening at 9.30am UK, ahead of the Premier League clash against Coventry.
All while stocks last.
