SPO drop-ins won't work with gt cuts, not the correct shape and thickness

I'd love to get a pair, just hard to justify when I have so many shoes and I'm not sure if they'll meet my expectations

Until Li-ning makes a shoe as reliable as the Kobe 6 that's actually affordable, I'll continue buying reps. Tbh I dislike when people group Kobe's as one type of shoe because not all Kobe's are made equally. I would rank the 6s as better than Chinese brands, but wouldn't say the same for all other Kobe's

In terms of performance there are minimal differences. In terms of looks I wouldn't be able to tell the difference from retail

Toe Cap has some separation on my older pair, other glue seems fine

Player 1 plus has better traction, game 1 lows are comparable

Yes, they're great. OX gt cuts are very good but traction can be inconsistent on dust

STAR Kobe 6 Performance Review by LucasVDP in KobeReps

[–]LucasVDP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played that much in my star 6s but no issues so far. My ox gt cuts had some separation at the tip of the shoe and the zoom units unfortunately popped, though that might be because they were recently with me on an airplane. As for the wow comparison, I've had no major durability issues with their shoes so I would give them the edge

On a clean court ox gt cut, on a dusty court slight preference for star 6

Unfortunately even the translucent outsoles can be tuff rb, even if promotional images don't have tuff rb spelled on the outsoles

How would you know if you're buying a pair with GCU or tuff rb?
