In an epic celebration of C3yoyodesign’s 15th Anniversary, two of yo-yoing’s most creative forces—Caribou Lodge and C3—have joined together to bring something truly legendary to life: The H5 LEAF.

Born from a conversation between Caribou Lodge founder Chris Mikulin and C3 design master Ron Chan, the H5 LEAF is a fusion of heritage, innovation, and pure fun. This hybrid powerhouse pays homage to the legacy of four iconic throws: the Chief (2011), H5 (2011), H5Chief (2012), and the LEAF (2024)—blending them into a bold new design that breaks boundaries and brings the best of both brands into one unforgettable return top.

What started as an idea to create Caribou Lodge's first hybrid yo-yo and C3’s first polycarbonate with an inner metal ring quickly evolved. Thanks to an unreleased sketch of the LEAF from yo-yo legend Steve Brown, the H5 LEAF concept was born—merging wide performance-driven shape with nostalgic double-rim aesthetics.

The result? A massive, floaty, and seriously fun yo-yo with modern comp-level performance. With a polycarbonate body, 6061 aluminum inner weight ring, and a super-wide stance, the H5 LEAF is designed to spin hard, move effortlessly, and make even your hardest tricks feel like a breeze. Feedback from top players like Matthew Poon helped refine the design to ensure it could handle the spotlight—literally—making finals at PNWR in its prototype stage.

Available in an all-star lineup of colorways, including:

• CLYW’s iconic 28 Stories
• Speedaholic FX’s Yellow/Black
• CLYW’s Salmon Fade
• C3’s Signature Black, Purple, and Silver Triad

Each H5 LEAF includes a special edition shiny panda sticker and delivers the kind of creative energy you’d expect from two of the most innovative names in yo-yo design.
