14th July, London: British performance eyewear brand SunGod has today dropped the latest iteration of its hugely popular Classics4 model - the SunGod Classics4 PRO, reimagined in collaboration with trail running royalty Courtney Dauwalter. Adding a noticeable performance uplift to an Everyday look that’s at home both on and off the trails, the new Classics4 PRO delivers improved fit, on-face stability and overall comfort in a highly versatile, yet casual look.
The new SunGod Classics4 PRO comes in six colourways, five standard collection colours plus a unique, limited edition Courtney Dauwalter Classics4 PRO design.
Working closely with SunGod’s product team, Dauwalter was heavily involved in developing a high-performance version of Classics4 to better suit the demands of an ultra-marathon. Featuring remodelled performance arm fins to provide a wrap and hold feel akin to SunGod’s Pace range, delivering improved stability on the face.
Built to handle the rigours of the most testing trails whilst maintaining the casual, iconic look she has championed for several years now. A model born in SunGod’s Everyday range, Dauwalter’s go to eyewear has uniquely been the SunGod Classics4, bucking the trend of choosing the performance models often favoured by the competitive field. An iconic Courtney look that suits her needs whilst reflecting her personality.
The creative concept for Courtney’s exclusive Limited Edition Signature colourway that launches with the core collection is inspired by the legendary ultra trail runner’s mental fortitude, more specifically the pain cave she finds comfort in, the dark place where she thrives during racing’s toughest moments. One where the cracks start to appear. A moment that signals what’s on the other side, where her best side comes to the fore.
A golden cracked design embodies this moment in a visual representation of the system that makes her the iconic athlete she is, with matching gold lenses to complete the look.
“Working with an athlete like Courtney presents us with a really unique insight into what runners want from their sunglasses,” added SunGod Head of Product, Ed Watkiss. “The new look Classics4 PRO offers a hugely versatile look, for those who want something a little different.”
Like all SunGod eyewear, the Classics4 PRO features 100% UV protection from its lenses produced using the brand’s proprietary 8KO® Nylon Lens Technology. The Infinite™ Recycled Frame delivers seven times lower impact than the virgin plastic more commonly found across the industry. And they come with SunGod’s lifetime guarantee - a testament to the durability of its products.
