The forward was one of Puma's brand ambassadors over the last few years, wearing their boots at World Cups, Euros and in the Champions League.
But he is no longer with the manufacturer and has turned to an unlikely alternative.
Griezmann instead wore Decathlon's Kipsta CLR boots against Real Madrid at the weekend.
They cost just £54 - far less than the £200 plus boots worn by his team-mates.
