Under Armour has officially unveiled the Magnetico Elite 5, and it’s 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 isn’t 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 that’s 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 Rüdiger, who repeats the word “control” before booting the camera screen into darkness.
The final caption appears: “Control is everything.” That’s the boot’s core message – and its mission.
The Magnetico Elite 5 ‘Digital Camo’ is available now via Under Armour’s official online store and select global retailers.
