British performance eyewear brand SunGod has unveiled its latest innovation, the Ultras Air sunglasses — the lightest frame the company has ever produced. Designed specifically for runners who demand both high performance and sleek aesthetics, the new release builds on the success of the original Ultras range introduced in 2022.
Expanding SunGod’s Pace Series, the Ultras Air delivers a slimmer, more refined silhouette without compromising on the technical features that athletes rely on.
A Lighter, Sleeker Evolution of the Ultras
The Ultras Air represents a natural progression from the original design, featuring a smaller lens profile and a more compact, close-fitting frame. This updated approach offers a more style-led look while maintaining the durability and performance credentials that made the original Ultras a favourite among runners.
Weighing just 24.5 grams, the sunglasses are engineered to feel almost weightless — helping runners stay focused during high-intensity training sessions and races by eliminating unnecessary distraction.
Built for Stability and Clarity
Performance remains at the heart of the Ultras Air. The sunglasses incorporate SunGod’s Grip-Lock hydrophilic rubber nose pads and ear socks, ensuring a secure, no-bounce fit even during fast-paced runs.
Meanwhile, the brand’s 8KO spherical lens technology enhances clarity across changing light conditions — supporting runners from start to finish, regardless of distance or pace.
Speaking on the launch, SunGod Head of Product Ed Watkiss said:
“We set out to create a lighter, closer-fitting, and more streamlined evolution of the original Ultras… Every detail is engineered to reduce distraction and keep runners focused.”
Tested on the Streets of London
Following extensive product testing, the Ultras Air will officially debut on the streets of London this month. Elite athletes, including marathon runner Phil Sesemann, are set to wear the new frames — reinforcing SunGod’s commitment to developing eyewear that meets the demands of top-level performance.
Sustainable Design Meets Custom Style
In line with the wider Pace Series, the Ultras Air is fully modular and customisable. The interchangeable lenses are made from 100% Infinite recycled material, created entirely from recycled plastic — highlighting SunGod’s continued push toward sustainability without sacrificing quality or design.
Customers can personalise their sunglasses or choose from signature colourways including:
- Desert Sand
- Smoke
- Silver Blue
