Formula E and Kimoa Partner for New E-Branded Sunglasses

Formula E, the single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars and Kimoa, the Spanish clothing and accessories retailer, have teamed up to create a new range of Formula E-branded sunglasses. The Formula E X Kimoa collection comes in two of Kimoa’s most popular and iconic shapes, the Sydney and the LA.

Motorsport champion and creator of Kimoa, Fernando Alonso, revealed the new collaboration in an Instagram live with Formula E’s Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Alberto Longo, ahead of Round 3 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Mexico City this Saturday.

The glossy black frame of the Formula E X SIDNEY Special Edition model is made with bio-acetate, a biodegradable material. The design features polarized lenses in the Formula E electric blue with branding in the corner of the lens inside the arm.

The Formula E x LA Special Edition model frame in bright white and Formula E electric blue, features polarized lenses. The glasses are made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic found in beverage and textile containers, extracted from plastic water bottles. It takes about 2.5-3 bottles to produce a pair of PET sunglasses.

Formula E and Kimoa’s commitment to sustainability is maintained in the eco-friendly packaging. Each pair of sunglasses is stored in a microbag made from recycled PET in a box with sleeve and informational insert that are all produced from recycled paper.

Both designs retail at $124.00 and are available at Formula E X Kimoa from 9 February 2022.
