The All-New Magnetico 5 Headlines Under Armour's 'Digital Camo' Pack

Under Armour are back with a bang — and a busy graphic — as they unveil the Digital Camo Pack, a slick, standout double drop headlined by the all-new Magnetico Elite 5 and flanked by the ever-explosive Shadow 3.

Dressed in a deceptively simple “Black/White” colourway, the Under Armour Digital Camo Pack goes far beyond basic. This isn’t grayscale — it’s a grayscale overload, with a static graphic that conjures QR codes galore popping from every angle and demanding attention. That eye-catching static-effect print leans into a history of prototype disguise, notably used by Nike for the Tiempo Legend 8. But here it's not disguising any tech...it's introducing it, with the all-new Magnetico 5 wearing the camo loud and proud from toe to heel, while the Shadow 3 lets its performance-focused design interrupt the pattern in all the right places. Disruption, delivered.

All eyes are firmly on the debut of the Magnetico Elite 5, Under Armour’s next-gen control silo, arriving like a stealth weapon draped in digital chaos. It’s an evolution you can feel — literally. At its core is UA’s Clone upper, an auxetic internal layer that expands and contracts with the foot for a bespoke, glove-like fit that adapts to every twist, shift, and surge.

Touch and control take top billing here. A 3D-printed texture joins forces with a silicone strike zone to enhance feel and responsiveness, letting you thread the needle or let fly without hesitation. That sock-like feel is locked in via a knit collar and tongue combo, while plush internal foam in the heel brings comfort to the chaos.

Underfoot, a mixed-stud control plate keeps you agile on firm natural ground. Whether you’re carving open space or pressing with intent, the Magnetico 5 is built to keep you sharp, fluid, and connected to every moment on the pitch.

Then, while the tech remains unchanged, the Shadow 3 turns heads with its bold new skin. The digital camo treatment hits differently here, contrasted through block-colour zones that break up the micro-rib texture across the upper. This one is all about pace, precision, and predator instinct — the kind that moves faster than thought.

Its upper texture aids close control at speed, while the NeverWet coating shrugs off moisture to keep things light when the game gets heavy. Beneath, the aggressive carbon fibre plate remains a standout, designed for snap movement — breaking, turning, bursting away before your marker even blinks. A smart central notch in the heel counter adds comfort and reduces pressure, so there’s nothing holding you back when the moment arrives.
