Box 83 Tier 1 July 2023

The CLYW Peak – Reimagined as a Luftverk “Injection Molded” plastic. Based on the original design from 2006 we created this return top as another chapter of the legendary Peak. In an attempt to preserve the original proportions in a lighter material, the shape has been scaled larger in every dimension. This also creates an incredible floaty feel. The highest quality is achieved by utilizing Luftverk’s Injection Machining Technology. This yoyo was developed not without its challenges. The unique shape pushes the limits of the Luftverk mold, with the Peak’s Iconic hub design maximizing the profile of the plastic blank. The entire pad area is also re-machined to accept the CLYW Snow Tire. All these obsessive details to preserve the iconic Peak feel meant this was the most challenging Luftverk plastic to date.

This month’s box value is  $40.00

I Love UNPRLD, Tyler Hseih is as fun as they are awesome. This month’s box is an amazing exclusive deal. The UNPRLD Seiji (120 value) plus UNPRLD informel (60 value) and some sweets to boot! Informel is his new signature yoyo – Named after a distinctive art form, but the literal meaning of the word is “atypical”. This term represents In Hyeok’s approach to both yo-yoing and art – he always strives to break the mold.  Seiji is based on the Cognition series. The yoyo is larger and wider than the cognition shape, and has large winged rims. UNPRLD went through 5 prototypes to come up with this final design.

This month’s box value is  $185.00

The UNPRLD Seiji is the signature yoyo of Junsang Park.

The Seiji is based on the Cognition series. The yoyo is larger and wider than the cognition shape, and has a large winged rims. UNPRLD went through 5 prototypes to come up with this final design. The result is an extremely stable playing yoyo that is easy to control, push, and rely on for front, side, and horizontal styles.

The name Seiji is the Korean pronunciation for the sage flower. These low growing, evergreens have long stood for various qualities like long life, thoughtfulness, good health, and wisdom in the language of flowers.

The flower language of sage is the core of Junsang’s philosophy of life. Junsang, for the past several years, has lived a very disciplined life for his well being mentally and physically for yoyo. His passion for knowledge, health, and the ability to not be hindered by the modern phenomenon of demoralization is what made him choose this name.

In Hyeok Choi has been a key role in the UNPRLD brand since he joined us in 2017. He is a multifaceted talent – not only is he incredibly stylish at yo-yoing, but he is also a great artist.

Informel is his new signature yoyo – Named after a distinctive art form, but the literal meaning of the word is “atypical”. This term represents In Hyeok’s approach to both yo-yoing and art – he always strives to break the mold. This new design, loosely inspired by UNPRLD Corruption, features a light weight for extended play and low-profile, round undercut rims for high stability and comfort. Finished with a blasted profile and a polished cup for max aesthetics.

We are proud to create something for In Hyeok that is both suitable for his style of yo-yoing and represents his identity outside of yo-yo. Informel will be available in stores this summer – stay tuned for more details.

THE Yonami Code Colorway-EXCLUSIVE

The Rain City Skills Yonami Code is a triple signature yoyo. Ashley Thompson, Bailey Main, and Jake Leach are three of their best “Have fun learning yoyo” representatives. They work hard to engage the community, encourage others and generally make yoyo great for everyone. It all started with a very fun idea.

Rain City tasked them with designing the yoyo they wished they’d had when they got hooked on yoyo! The result is the Yonami Code. Named so as a reference to their hugely successful “Gamer”, a slimline yoyo that is really challenging to hit modern yoyo tricks on.

The Yonami Code makes everything easy. We opted for a modified “H” design for maximum stability while trying to figure out that next trick. They targeted weight distribution for top performance, making this the ONLY yoyo you need. (“Want” is another matter). The cup features their Lego compatible hub, perfect for adding a light up brick or finger spin plate. That said, it fingerspins beautifully on its own, perfect for the TikTok generation who are all about the DNA!

Each Box includes – The Yonami Code set up with a Full-C Groove bearing – A half-C bearing to switch the yoyo to responsive for beginners – The Yonami Code sticker with a few others, as well as some of their collectable Pogs – a couple string – A maple candy!

The value of this Month’s box is $60.00

Box 76 Tier 3 December 2022

This month’s throw is from THESIS. Aventus is the next model in the Invictus series. It’s designed to be a more powerful version of the Invictus, but still maintain its clean aesthetic and maneuverability. Thesis listened to the feedback from the Invictus and adjusted the gap width for tighter binds. Additionally, they utilized large stainless steel weight rings to increase power and stability, but still maintained the agility the Invictus held by gradually increasing the wall thickness from the hub to the rings. You are getting 1 of 3 colorways so keep an eye for which! Thesis gave us a hat and we added 100 strings to round the box value out.

This month’s box value is  $133.00

This month’s throw is from Duncan.


The original Origami was a great hit: our team loved it, our
customers loved it. But we weren’t satisfied; we thought we
could make it even better. So we went back to the original
design, and out came the all-new, revised Origami! To improve
upon the original design, we better optimized the weight
distribution to improve stability and spin time. We also
increased the length of the axle to make the design more
durable. The signature yo-yo of 5A player and superstar Bryan
Jardin, 7-time National Champion and 2-time Asia Champion,
the new Origami is made to perform.
