UNDER ARMOUR ENTERS A NEW ERA WITH UA ECHO

The Lifestyle Shoe That Blurs the Line Between Sport and Street

Under Armour is known for its relentless pursuit of performance innovation, creating gear that helps athletes push limits and break barriers. Today, the brand is stepping beyond the arena and into culture, making a bold statement with the launch of UA ECHO—a shoe that redefines what Under Armour stands for.

 

This isn’t just a new shoe—it’s a shift in identity. UA ECHO represents a deeper connection with the next generation of athletes and culture drivers, especially Gen Z, who see style as an extension of movement and self-expression. Under Armour is stepping off the court and field, expanding its influence into sportswear and street culture.

 

Designed with a bold, sculpted silhouette, innovative materials, and an unapologetic streetwear aesthetic, UA ECHO is built for those who don’t just move through the world—they make an impact. It’s a shoe that speaks the language of a generation that refuses to be defined by just one thing.

“UA ECHO is our first step in defining sportswear at Under Armour.”

“Innovation has always been our driving force, and with UA ECHO, we’re elevating it—fusing performance, design, and technology to set a new standard. This is more than just a launch—it’s the foundation of what sportswear means for Under Armour.”

A Shoe Engineered to Disrupt and Define

 

UA ECHO makes an impression before you even take a step. It looks like it’s in motion—even when standing still.

 

The multi-layered monofilament mesh upper delivers both structure and breathability, giving it a sleek yet durable feel. At the heel, SlipSpeed™ technology brings true versatility—Under Armour’s signature convertible innovation that lets you go from a performance fit to a casual slip-on in one smooth motion. Built for fast transitions and even faster lifestyles.

 

The asymmetrical speed-lace system is designed for a secure, adaptive fit that moves with you, syncing effortlessly with the rhythm of the street. Translucent overlays and aggressive geometric lines complete the look—bold, futuristic, and made for those who move fast in sport, in culture, and in ambition.

"UA ECHO was made for the game-changer - transformative and bold in their style. UA ECHO is for individuals who walk into a space and own it. They reflect their confidence, ambition, and relentless pursuit of what's next.”

A Balance of Fashion and Function

 

While UA ECHO is a style-driven shoe, it is elevated through innovation. Beneath its striking exterior, Under Armour’s signature full-length HOVR® cushioning provides the comfort, impact absorption, and energy return needed for an on-the-go lifestyle.

 

The lightweight, flexible outsole ensures effortless movement, making it a shoe that seamlessly transitions from streets to social spaces, from day to night. UA ECHO was designed to adapt—just like the people who wear it.

“UA ECHO is Under Armour stepping into a new era with confidence."

"It signals a new creative energy, a fresh perspective, and a deep connection with a generation that values authenticity and style as much as performance.”

Katie Lau

Director of Footwear, Sportswear at Under Armour

This launch paves the way for a wave of innovation, collaborations, and cultural moments that will reshape how Under Armour is perceived in footwear culture. The brand isn’t just stepping into a new space—it’s making sure its presence is felt.

 

The streets aren’t waiting for just another shoe. They’re waiting for something different. And with UA ECHO, Under Armour just delivered—loud, unapologetic, and unexpected.
