**From Fair Trade YoYos:** This model is an homage to our punk rock upbringings, DIY ethos, and inspiration through our youth and community. The Misfits’ “We Are 138” were the inspiration for the dimensions 51x38mm and the final name - 138!
 
Keeping with the punk, horror and old school inspiration, the overall round shape was inspired by the rounded steel roller skates of the slicked-back rat-rod days, Misfits horrorpunk and giving a nod to the oxy ti as well.
The profile gap still maintains a slight ‘schwall’ as in our previous models, though not as pronounced. It features large rims rounded all the way into the cup that provide a nice IGR and ample rim weight for power and stability in play that play well above it’s compact size.
# Releasing Tuesday, 1/4 @ 8PM EST.

The 138 is very pocket friendly. Smooth as butter. Easy to control, spins a long as your combo needs and The colors are great.

I really liked this one. It reminded me of the RecRev Neaue on first impression, which was one of my favorite pocket throws. It’s a little larger and plays a little lighter, but has that same undersized organic feel I enjoyed. Definitely recommend if you like smaller yoyos.

I bought one of these instantly and I’m extremely selective in what I buy.
Top notch work, @fatguysnacks247 .
