Jude Bellingham has always been more than a typical midfielder; his newest venture proves it yet again. The Real Madrid prodigy, who’s been turning heads in La Liga and the Champions League, just unveiled a burgundy jacket as part of his updated adidas Originals JB collection. He announced the drop in a playful video on social media, showcasing some over-the-top parking skills in a BMW and giving fans a taste of his personality away from the pitch.
He’s known for wearing the number five for Real Madrid, and now he’s chosen a ‘70s-inspired palette of cream and burgundy to carry that same confident flair into fashion. The jacket itself features a sleek velour finish, subtle Trefoil accents, and a neat JB monogram that nods to Bellingham’s name. According to Adidas, he’s only the second player after Lionel Messi to receive a dedicated Originals range, a distinction that echoes the club legend status many are predicting for him.
“I would advise him to continue learning from the other veterans there,” said iconic former Madrid captain Iker Casillas last year. “He’s made it at the most important club in the world and has shown he can be there.” Casillas even suggested Bellingham could wear the captain’s armband someday, remarking, “He could surely be the captain of Real Madrid, of course. He has everything to form the part.” For a 21-year-old, that’s serious praise, especially given the club’s storied history.
Bellingham’s mixture of self-assured poise and easygoing humor has caught on quickly with fans. His comedic parking bit added a playful edge to the campaign, and as the Spanish BMW account joked on social media, “This is how we like to start the week, in style!” Whether or not Jude did all the stunts himself, the video’s lightheartedness fits the free-spirited vibe of the JB label.
A retro-inspired statement
With this drop, Bellingham leans into a vintage aesthetic, merging athletic functionality with streetwear appeal. The burgundy jacket stands out as the centerpiece, but the collection also includes coordinated velour pieces and signature sneakers stamped with his initials. It’s a tangible symbol of how he’s expanding his personal brand without abandoning the game he loves.
On the pitch, he remains vital for Real Madrid’s ambitions. He found the net in a thrilling 3–2 triumph over Leganes, and his team is chasing a historic treble this season. Madrid leads Real Sociedad 1–0 on aggregate in the Copa del Rey and faces a high-stakes Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal.
For those eager to channel the midfielder’s fearless spirit, the burgundy jacket and the rest of his adidas Originals range are available online and through select retailers. It’s another milestone for a player whose talent knows few boundaries. As Casillas put it, Bellingham is poised to “do everything to be a great player and captain,” and his off-field ventures reveal a young star determined to make his mark in every arena he enters.
