Happy Throwback Thursday! This week we did some extra digging and found a few unreleased gems from our vault (thanks, COVID!).
Today’s featured throws come from our friends at Static Co, including the SGNL, SUDO, and Wave!
The SGNL was Static Co’s first release back in 2020. It went through several prototype stages before becoming the debut model that introduced the brand in style. Even though it first dropped five years ago, it’s a great reminder of how much yo-yo design has evolved. The SGNL captures the feel of the “mid-school” trick era with its compact size and unique presence on the string. It may be smaller than most modern throws, but it plays fast and very smooth on the string!
The SUDO represents the evolution of the beloved Parlay, refined through years of design experience. Made from 7075 aluminum, it delivers a smooth and stable throw with just the right amount of weight for added control. Designed in collaboration with One Drop, the SUDO blends classic inspiration with modern precision. An embodiment of creativity, friendship, and the pure joy of yo-yoing.
Last but not least, the Wave makes its return! We’ve sold this one before, but it’s back with more colors to choose from. This is the signature yo-yo of Brian Cosky, who ranked in the world’s top five for 1A back in 2006. The Wave channels the nostalgic feel of mid-2000s yo-yo design while drawing influence from modern favorites like the Parlay, with help from designer Patrick Dressel.
I’m glad the online yo-yo community gravitates mainly towards stuff like organics, slim lines and 2000s throwback yo-yos because it diverts the attention away from most of the yo-yos I want.
that being said when I occasionally do want a cool slimline yo-yo it does become an issue lol
I knew the old waves were gonna drop but had no idea about the sudos! Those have been in the YYE vault for 4 years or so haha. Even I got excited and threw one in my cart, but decided to let someone else pick it up. I said “if there’s any left after an hour it’s fair game”, but they sold out in ~40 mins.
