Born from a conversation between CLYW founder Chris Mikulin and C3Yoyodesign master Ron Chan, the [H5 LEAF](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/h5-leaf-yoyo-by-c3yoyodesign-x-caribou-loudge?_pos=1&_sid=84852cddb&_ss=r&variant=45113734201534) is a fusion of heritage, innovation, and pure fun. This hybrid powerhouse pays homage to the legacy of four iconic throws: the Chief (2011), H5 (2011), H5Chief (2012), and the LEAF (2024)—blending them into a bold new design that breaks boundaries and brings the best of both brands into one unforgettable return top. What started as an idea to create CLYW’s first hybrid yo-yo and C3’s first polycarbonate with an inner metal ring quickly evolved. Thanks to an unreleased sketch of the LEAF from yo-yo legend Steve Brown, the [H5 LEAF](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/h5-leaf-yoyo-by-c3yoyodesign-x-caribou-loudge?_pos=1&_sid=84852cddb&_ss=r&variant=45113734201534) concept was born—merging wide performance-driven shape with nostalgic double-rim aesthetics.

i feel the opposite, it feels like $20 more than i’d care to spend. to each their own though! i’ll consider snagging one if/when they pop up in the bst but i won’t be actively hunting for one ---

I thought with it being such an icon CLYW would’ve had it at about $100, but I fully understand. $90 is still quite steep ---

i think 90 is for the solid color. splash is probably at least 100. i see the c3 splash for 110 on the other site that pre-listed it ---
