Grealish, 28, mixed the sandstone trench coat with blue jeans and white trainers in the shoot for Puma’s revived Palermo range – which was first launched in the 1980s.
The classic set will Һit shelves again this month.
Despite looking like a pop legend, £100m man Grealish’s own turn on the mic was less impressive – as he memorably belted out hits while sloshed after winning the treble in June.
It comes after Brummie Grealish landed a £10million sponsorship deal with Gucci.
He became Puma’s face until 2028 for £10million a season.
Puma’s global director of sports marketing and licensing, Johan Adamsson, said: “He turns heads on and off the pitch with his quick feet and personal style.”
Grealish earned six figures for a BoohooMAN apparel partnership.
He has been called “the most marketable footballer since David Beckham” and has an Instagram fan page for his clothing. Brands want to work with him.
Brand marketing specialist Andy Barr said: “One of the reasons why organisations are queueing up to try and work with Grealish is because he does not yet realise that he is more than just an elite sports person, he is actually now a global brand.”
Manchester City signed Grealish from Aston Villa for £100million, making him the most expensive footballer in British history. He earns £300,000 a week.
