Erling Braut Haaland is already wearing the new A$AP Rocky x PUMA x Manchester City collaboration, putting the limited “DON’T BE DUMB” release directly on one of City’s most recognizable players. Rayan Cherki, Iliman Cheikh Ndiaye, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Ryan McAidoo and Enzo Fernández are also wearing pieces from the project, bringing the collection into the Manchester City squad.

The footballers’ appearances follow the launch of the collaboration between Manchester City, A$AP Rocky and PUMA. The project translates graphics connected to Rocky’s 2026 album Don’t Be Dumb into a limited-edition football jersey created specifically for the club.
Haaland remains the most established name in the group, having led Manchester City’s attack since joining the club in 2022. Rayan Cherki arrived from Lyon in 2025, while Iliman Ndiaye, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Enzo Fernández all joined City during the 2026 summer transfer window. Ndiaye signed from Everton, Bouaddi arrived from Lille and Fernández completed a deadline-day move from Chelsea. Ryan McAidoo came through Manchester City’s Academy and has since stepped into the senior team.
The main jersey comes in black and archive gold and uses PUMA’s long-sleeve KING format. “DON’T BE DUMB” runs vertically down the sleeve, and a large “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Rocky draws the visual treatment from his album and applies it to a football shirt closely connected to Manchester City.
PUMA and Manchester City also created a separate players-only gift edition in the club’s familiar sky blue. A$AP detailing appears on the front and sleeves, and the back carries a stop-sign graphic with the words “STOP SNITCHIN, MANCHESTER.” The private version gives City players another interpretation of Rocky’s graphics within the club’s established color identity.
The project also introduces limited A$AP 11 name and number printing. Fans could apply the treatment to Manchester City’s 2026/27 Home, Away or Third shirts while stocks remained available.
