But the Brady brand is his own. The superstar quarterback, hailed by many as the "GOAT," partnered with Jens Grede to build the brand. Grede has already built three multimillion-dollar fashion empires, including two separately for Kardashian sisters Kim and Khloe. The creative director for Brady's line is Dao-Yi Chow, who designed New York brand Public School.

"We wanted to be sure we really nailed it and got it right. I’m closer to the end of my football career but at the same time, [I want to do] things that are fun."
