IYYC was founded by long time yo-yo player Ian Cole who retired from the competitive yo-yo scene to pursue a career in architecture and design. When he realized he could combine both his passions, yo-yos and design, he went into it with a mission to create the most ground-breaking yo-yos on the market. And from the looks of the first design, The Breathe, we think he’s done it!
It all started with an amazing idea for a beautiful yo-yo design unlike any other, but with no idea how it could be created. So Ian teamed up with engineer Mike Baudrexl who developed amazing new yo-yo manufacturing techniques that allowed for his innovative yo-yo dream to become a reality!

The Breathe just looks and feels so special, when you hold it you can tell how much thought and hard work work went into creating such a beautifully unique yo-yo. And it is more than just a beautiful looking throw, this one of a kind yo-yo masterpiece is a true competitor built for the modern yo-yo scene. The unique cut out design gives it an amazing weight distribution and feel that you just can’t get with standard yo-yo machining techniques.
The IYYC Breathe will completely change the way you view modern yo-yo design!
From the brief bit i’ve read there’s not a patent on yoyos having cut outs, obviously since the RSL did that already, but rather a patent pending on a manufacturing technique, which is fine and unlikely to ever matter. It’s not like companies have been rushing to release yoyos with cutouts anyway or they would have done it in the past few years… If you want to rage please direct it towards Yoyojam’s bi-metal patent which does have an obvious effect on models available in the US and probably a reason we haven’t seen bimetals from One Drop and the like, or towards Duncan’s 5A patent which is idiotic.
