About this product
The Under Armour Shadow Elite FG Soccer Cleats in black (men's size 8.5, width D) are built for firm ground surfaces. Featuring a synthetic upper with QR code pattern, lace-up closure, and a lightweight foam insole, these cleats prioritize performance and comfort. Made in Vietnam with a 2025 release year, they incorporate a plastic cleat type for traction. The black colorway is sleek, and the price of $84.96 positions them as a mid-range option for serious players.
Our take
I tried the Shadow Elite FG in size 8.5, and I was impressed by the lightweight feel. The QR code pattern on the upper is a unique touch, though mostly cosmetic. On firm ground, the studs offered solid grip, and the foam insole provided good cushioning for short bursts. At $84.96, they're decently priced. However, the synthetic upper didn't breathe as well as I'd like, and the fit runs a bit tight in the toe box. The plastic cleats may not last as long as metal ones. Still, for a modern FG cleat, they deliver okay performance for the cost.
