The iYOYO SONiC WAVE yo-yo holds a unique status, undergoing more prototypes than most in the iYOYO lineup. They meticulously experimented with shape, weight, and weight distribution to perfect its design. The SONiC WAVE caters to fans of both the “slim” iCEBERG CLASSiC and its wider counterpart, skillfully bridging the gap between the two.
Drawing inspiration from the Shockwave, one of iYoYo’s favorite YYJ throws, the curved inner ring achieves a stable yet dynamic weight distribution. Of course, finger-spin hubs have been incorporated for throwers to do the DNA!
iYoYo introduces a more elaborate logo while ensuring a pristine version in red for those who prefer minimal artwork. Artwork was created by Daniel Ehrlich (xdudeofdeath on Instagram)
This puts me in mind of a hybrid Yoyofactory Turntable 2.0 without the ridges. Would love to see it in action and I really hope they’ll do different colours in the future (Like red with black rings)
It might grow on me…I don’t know yet. Sometimes the first time you see something it’s so out of your comfort zone that you have to reconcile that a little.
I like the logo too, its different. Kinda reminds me of the band the misfits logo. I aint a fan of the red colorway of the non-logo version. That red is just kinda meh in my opinion. Cant decide if I like the light green/yellowish one or blue more. The light green with black rim reminds me of my old yomega saber wing like my profile picture, I’d probably go with that one. Waiting to hear what people think of it. I been trying to decide which hybrid I want.
You’re right, its the Misfits logo i was thinking of,not Santa Cruz, good call.
Edit - I had skateboard wheels back in the late 80s called Slimeballs and the font and colours were really similar to these yoyos, apparently they were made by Santa Cruz. This yoyo has an 80s California punk vibe for sure. I was neither a punk or a Californian!
