BETTY DESIGNS BRINGS THE MOMENTUM WITH SIGNATURE RUDY PROJECT SUNGLASS

San Diego, CA – Betty Designs is excited to announce the creation of their first-ever sunglass—the Betty Designs Momentum powered by Rudy Project.

True to Betty Style, the Betty Designs + Rudy Project Momentum features bold pink lenses that pop against a custom crafted ice silver colorway, Betty’s trademark butterfly skull logo on the outside of each temple, and the cheeky reminder that “Bad Ass is Beautiful” printed on the inside of the frame. Ready for any adventure, each sunglass arrives in a durable silver clamshell case alongside a custom sunglass bag in Betty’s trademark pink.

“We are so stoked to team up with a brand that knows how to make quality performance and casual eyewear that doesn’t sacrifice style,” says Kristin Mayer, founder of Betty Designs. “When we began the design process, I fell in love with their Momentum model due to its versatility as a lifestyle frame that was also epic to ride or run in. The final product is a sophisticated aviator with just the right touch of Betty pink to make it distinct, and I couldn’t be happier with what we cooked up with Rudy’s engineers.”

The perfect partner for Betty’s first frame, Rudy Project has been turning heads inside and outside the peloton with award winning technically cool Italian made eyewear since 1985.

“Ever since I met Kristin at Kona, I knew that Rudy had to work with her in some way. She is one of the most innovative thinkers and designers around, so teaming up with her on the Momentum was a blast and a no-brainer,” says Paul Craig, CEO & Co-Founder of Rudy Project North America and R.A.C.E. “We love creating pieces specifically for our female fans, and the Betty Momentum puts a new spin on one of our most popular frames. The ‘Bad Ass Is Beautiful’ detail on the inside couldn’t be more fitting for this piece or the women wearing it, and we can’t wait to see Betty Nation out in the city or on the trails this summer.”
