Under Armour Seizes the Future … for Shoes!

Under Armour’s advertising in the Super Bowl this year. And it doesn’t want to do funny.

The ad teasers take place in Under Armour City. Get a load of the grit-is-gorgeous feel. (The creators bear crosses from previous successes, which include The Matrix and 300.)

The CGI-abusing spots are for The New Prototype (a shoe, though we briefly swore it was a new modem), coming out May 3rd. The first spot will air a week or so before the Super Bowl. We’re not clear if that’s the same one Under Armour will use during the Super Bowl.

We hope it’s got a new one to blow on that overpriced slot, considering the ad of choice marks Under Armour’s virgin foray into the football/ad bonanza.
