Haha you’re remembering my [reply](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-did-you-get-in-the-mail-for-2020-2021/302416/8061) to you in another thread about three years ago - you were wondering why it was called that and I gave you my “ideal” interpretation. Here it is:

> My interpretation of the Saturday Market colorway is an almost cinematic one. Picture yourself in the middle of a bustling asian street market at night (think Tokyo or similar) and there’s a bunch of flashing lights, different signs, and colors all melding together. You look down at the road you’re walking on and there’s a pothole filled with water, and in the water is the abstract reflection and beautiful combination of all those lights and colors all around you. All the food stands/vendors, stuff being sold on either side of you, all kinds of people in different colored clothing - all the sights from everything around you, overwhelming as it may be, all blending into one. That’s the Saturday Market colorway to me.

Was probably hard to find since it was randomly in the mailday thread from awhile back, not its own thread. @Shwa

Anyway… I also like to pretend this is the backstory lmao
