SunGod Drops New Ultras™ Air, Blending Performance and Aesthetics in its Lightest Frame Ever
7th April 2026, London - SunGod, the British performance eyewear brand, today has launched its new Ultras™ Air sunglasses, the brand’s lightest frame yet. An evolution from the original and popular Ultras, first introduced in 2022, the new Ultras™ Air expands the Pace range with a sleeker, slimmer design built for the runner who values both style and performance.
Retaining the core DNA that continues to make the original Ultras a success, the Ultras™ Air features a smaller, refined lens, and a closer, more compact fit. Offering an updated style-led look without compromising on technical capability.
Weighing just 24.5g, the ultra-lightweight construction feels like a natural extension of the face, helping you stay focused by eliminating distraction during high-intensity efforts and races. SunGod’s proprietary Grip-Lock™ hydrophilic rubber nose-pad and ear socks help maintain stability, ensuring a secure, no-bounce hold. Meanwhile the 8KO® spherical lens technology provides exceptional clarity in changing light conditions, supporting athletes from start line to finish, no matter the distance or pace.
"We set out to create a lighter, closer-fitting, and more streamlined evolution of the original Ultras, designed to feel secure through every stride. The Ultras™ Air are built for performance, but with a refined silhouette that feels just at home on everyday urban runs, as on high-speed efforts,” said SunGod Head of Product, Ed Watkiss. “Every detail from the ultralight frame to the secure Grip-Lock™ fit and shaped 8KO® lenses is engineered to reduce distraction and keep runners focused"
After extensive testing, the Ultras™ Air will make its debut on the streets of London this month, worn by SunGod elite athletes including Phil Sesemann, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to developing high-performance eyewear for runners who demand top-level technicalities while looking and feeling their best.
In line with the wider SunGod Pace Series, the Ultras™ Air is a fully modular and customisable design, featuring interchangeable lenses crafted from 100% Infinite™ recycled material, made entirely from recycled plastic. Reinforcing the brand’s ongoing commitment to design and reducing environmental impact - without compromising on performance or style.
