    Like the title says... anyone rock the colour fades?

    I've always thought they were kinda weird looking on most setups, but I've seen a couple that were rad! Lets get some pics going in here

    Yeah I don't know if I do or not yet. I just strung one up on a kendama I'm been modifying... o_O I'll have to take a pic when I get home.

    I don't have any. I have more string than I'd like to admit. I don't think I'll be buying colored fades any time soon.

    They do look cool though, I have to admit

    I really want to know where @Shanedama gets his color strings. He always has one on most of his new Analogs.

    Similar, but he also has an Instagram post with a big spool of it. He posted it around December-ish.

    I think it really just depends on your setup.. I'm not really into them unless they were a sweet brown hue fade mixup for a killer grained natty . But , I like pairing up my solids up with another eye popping primary color ....but again just my opinion , I'd like to see some pics of one's that do though . Slay on !

    I don't think I can rock the color fade. Seems a little juvenile to me. But that's just me and the colors ive seen.

    Agreed, there's other colors too, I've seen brown to white and other darker colors that look nice.

    Not really color fade strings but I really would like to try these silk strings.

    My first kendama had a colour fade string. Not a great fan of these. I guess they kinda remind me of some cheap underwhelming fair toys you can buy at seaside stands. Changed it to a mono color string the first day.

    I think on a natty they could look good, but I struggle to like any string other than standard white.

    I think it depends on the setup, but personally I think it's a bit too much, I'd rather use a black string

    These are intense. Su Lab got a few in years back. They were more like cord. Very stiff. Never twisted up. But I'm not gonna drop 32 bucks for a pack of 6!

    My friend's damas. She loves the fades. They look best with naturals.

    Color fades do get away with it on full natty, but those bright safety gear colors are a bit much of my eyes. We left the 80's over 3 decades ago!
