“Oasis joins our vast array of organic and D bearing yoyos and features a very mid school design flavor. Since our first ever release, the assassin, launched all the way back in 2021, we’ve been clamoring at the idea of releasing another steel yoyo.
There’s something special about a well designed stainless steel yoyo, and our team realized we hit the jackpot from the first throw. When done properly, it has a very premium feel in all aspects of play feel and performance without a very steep price tag. With Oasis, we wanted to explore a larger diameter than the assassin without going overboard, and focusing on the most comfortable and enjoyable experience in a yoyo. With this in mind, we set out to design an organic with a wide but not too wide body, and really angled and rounded end curves for a yoyo you will not want to (and don’t have to) put down!
We knew from the start we wanted steel since it is the perfect material to bring a yoyo wherever you want, without feeling the guilt of dropping an expensive titanium design. Steel is a very strong material when used properly, but can get expensive and brittle at larger sizes, so we design around a mid sized organic in order to keep the qualities of steel we love and enjoy, as well as the ability to offer a fresh thermocline in relation to other steel yoyos on the market, finding a sweet spot between 53 and 54mm diameter.
In play, the yoyo maneuvers easily, letting its 63.7 grams shine when bouncing and shaking easily between your string layers and trick creations. Our new Hybrid D bearing ensures snappy binds and regens and enhances the play experience of this yoyo all around. It has a very large and easy IRG to hit any thumb or talon grinds you may want, and features a very mindful and flavorful hub design with a drop of water rippling across the center.”
“Introducing the first TC4 Titanium 7068 Capped bimetal. Signature of Adrian Velez with a CAD design collaboration with Editionyoyo and Dressel Designs.
A yo-yo for a friend, made possible with the help of friends, with artwork by friends.
With TC4 we were able to construct a rim which incorporates traits from our favorite extended rim bi-metals, while still retaining the capped feel of some of our favorite “fun” yo-yos. This unique combination results in a design which excels at daily casual play with the power, stability and control you would crave in order to hit your tech routine if asked to!
We hope you enjoy this special project as much as we all have making it!”

“Fusion was the perfect bimetal yoyo for me. It captured the feel of some of my favorite yoyos from the 2009 era with more modern performance. After getting feedback from top performers on the stage, collectors who have tried them all, and everybody in between, we are proud to bring you fusion 2.0!
So what’s changed?
