History / About
Authentic was developed as the first yo-yo of Laid Back Swing (LBS). To launch the brand, the makers wanted the most authentic yo-yo as a flagship, choosing a round, organic shape for the most retro feel from yo-yo history. The theme was “retro and modern”, “never gets old to play with” and “blends in with a variety of scenes”, refined through repeated prototyping. The artwork was inspired by the word Authentic itself, such as the Ivy League and American baseball.
Rewind notes it weighs in the low 63 g range but has a soft yet substantial feel that carries itself, giving a casual play feel; the polish finish can show water-droplet-like color unevenness due to the manufacturing process.
