Under Armour has officially unveiled the Magnetico Elite 5, and its turning heads not just for its futuristic design, but for what it promises in performance.
Dubbed 'Digital Camo,' the launch colourway features a disruptive black-and-white pattern that feels more sci-fi than soccer, with visual cues reminiscent of QR codes, prototype schematics, and glitch art. It's an unapologetically bold look, worn loud from toe to heel.
But the Magnetico 5 isnt just about aesthetics. Under Armour has rebuilt their control-focused silo from the ground up, crafting a boot specifically for players who dictate tempo in high-pressure zones whether thats shielding possession, picking a pass, or turning defenders inside-out.
The boot features a new auxetic upper a foot-mapping material that flexes in response to pressure, wrapping the foot in a second-skin fit. Paired with targeted silicone strike zones for enhanced ball grip and a lightweight soleplate designed for explosive cuts, the Magnetico 5 puts control at the forefront of every movement.
The launch was revealed in a slick teaser video starring Real Madrid and Germany defender Antonio Rdiger, who repeats the word control before booting the camera screen into darkness.
The final caption appears: Control is everything. Thats the boots core message and its mission.
The Magnetico Elite 5 'Digital Camo' is available now via Under Armours official online store and select global retailers.
