Gunna x Under Armour Scorpio Releases August 27
Under Armour and Atlanta rapper Gunna are launching P-Star, a new performance-oriented label that marks a significant expansion of their partnership. The Gunna x Under Armour Scorpio serves as the inaugural sneaker for the project, a design-forward model built around HOVR cushioning and football-inspired construction.

The P-Star Initiative
Gunna's relationship with Under Armour has evolved from campaign appearances into a more substantial creative role. As creative director and global ambassador for P-Star, the rapper is overseeing both footwear and apparel development within a label designed to reflect his involvement with fitness culture—specifically his Wunna Run club and work with a sponsored youth football program. The initiative positions performance and lifestyle as complementary rather than separate, a framework that will guide future releases through 2027 and beyond.
Design Details
The Scorpio represents a completely new silhouette for Under Armour, one that exists at the intersection of everyday wear and athletic performance. The design borrows visual language from football footwear while maintaining a runner's sensibility through lightweight synthetic overlays on the upper. The most distinctive feature is the midsole treatment: six spike-like extrusions extend from the base, a design element that provides visual distinction without sacrificing wearability. Underfoot, UA HOVR cushioning technology delivers the responsive comfort expected from Under Armour's performance line.
The first P-Star apparel collection arrives in tandem with the Scorpio, anchored by heavyweight T-shirts, shorts, and sweatwear alongside thermals and mock-neck tops constructed from HeatGear materials. The breadth of the offering suggests Under Armour and Gunna are treating this as a cohesive ecosystem rather than a one-off collaboration.
Release Strategy
The August 27, 2026 drop is positioned as a limited first release, designed to build momentum ahead of the broader P-Star rollout anticipated for 2027. This phased approach—beginning with a controlled launch through Under Armour and A Ma Maniére in Atlanta—reflects both the strategic importance of the collaboration and the local significance of the brand's partnership with Gunna's community.
The decision to include A Ma Maniére, the Atlanta-based boutique with deep roots in sneaker culture, signals that this is not merely a corporate activation. The store's editorial credibility and cultural positioning lend weight to the Scorpio's arrival.
