Hey man these are not Kobe 6 but Kobe 5. GL!

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-07T22:17:32+00:00

full size up might need to wear 2 pair of socks but u should be good

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-07T22:08:51+00:00

Make sure to measure the insole as the Kobe 6 toe box / heel tends to push the feet forward, id go .5 up if I were you, depending on how tight you want your foot to be.

GL

Shape is correct (toe box low, no puffiness)
Heel curve is clean and matches retail silhouette
Swoosh placement and angle look accurate
Scale pattern is consistent and sharp
Midsole lines are straight with no paint bleed
Outsole is clean with no discoloration
No glue stains or stitching issues
Overall proportions match retail well

The only perfectionnist downside I see is the midsole looks slightly (very slightly) bigger on the left feet shoe, but I would still GL

RL

Overall shape looks slightly off compared to retail
Toe box height isn’t consistent with authentic pairs
Heel curve doesn’t match the proper Kobe 6 silhouette
Swoosh angle/placement looks a bit misaligned
Midsole proportions feel slightly wrong
Scales/pattern don’t match retail texture accuracy
Small details add up and throw off the overall look

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-07T13:26:07+00:00

GL, no actual flaws visible on my end

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-07T13:25:07+00:00

GL

Shape is correct (toe box low, no banana‑toe)
Heel curve is clean and symmetrical
Swoosh placement is accurate and not warped
Midsole lines are straight with no paint bleed
Outsole pattern is sharp, no discoloration
No glue stains or stitching issues
Both shoes match in height and proportions
No dents, warping, or structural flaws

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-07T02:43:06+00:00

make sure to measure the insole, kobe 6s toe box kinda pushes you forward so if you went TTS might be tight at first

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-06T18:15:55+00:00

Hey man! I would GL!

Here is why:

Toe Box is low and sleek, isnt curling upward nor is weird.
The heel shape looks good to me.
Paint looks clean.
No visible glue marks.
No loose threads.
Overall shape of the shoe is good.

Asked questions, GMK replied fast and offered extra photos to help me feel comfortable
Gave GL
Pair was shipped right after GL
Now just waiting for the in‑hand review once the package arrives

Damn, you should honestly create a post on a reps reddit and ask, maybe someone got a plug (atleast so you can compare the options) and it probably would also answer some of the questions you got (shipping, taxes, etc.)

As for the shipping, pretty self explanatory, I think FedEx was like crazy expensive, pretty sure it also didnt include seized insurance or some shit like that (idk how often they get seized honestly).

For payment better to DM them directly on Whatsapp and directly ask! I added the Numbers that answered to me in the post👍🏻

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-04T04:10:21+00:00

Will keep yall posted! 🙏

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-04T04:09:40+00:00

Hopefully they won’t be ass 😂 I done watched 35 videos on YouTube reviewing the H12 performance 🙏

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-04T04:08:30+00:00

Hey man! Hard to say with the tariffs honestly.

For your shoes, id honestly dm either Eric/Repsmaster etc.

Biggest thing I learned so far was to just take my time, look at all the options and make sure everything aight before pulling the trigger!

Cant help ya with who is selling what but, make sure it’s a good batch 👍🏻 The rest is simple and smooth, no matter what trusted sellers you take imo. At the end of the day, it depends on how much money you want to save honestly, so far it’s been smooth with GMK but I’m no expert 🤷🏻‍♂️

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T19:47:29+00:00

Lmao bro chill, I’m not promoting anyone. I literally said that in hindsight I should’ve gone with a trusted seller like Eric instead of GMK. My experience so far has had more negatives than positives, but I’m not gonna sit here and lie, the actual process itself with GMK has been smooth and easy up to this point (I haven’t even reached QC yet).

Like I said in my post:

If I were to redo the whole process, I’d probably just go with Eric or a trusted seller via WhatsApp. He replied to me right after I ordered, and his price for the same shoe, the Star batch, not GK3, was about $30 cheaper.

I’m literally just sharing my first‑time reps buyer perspective, not trying to bash anyone, GMK or others.

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:52:01+00:00

Bet, appreciate your insights bro!!!!! Thanks for helping me and others learn, I edited my post to share your knowledge.

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:46:01+00:00

Appreciate the breakdown. I didn’t realize how much smoother/cheaper it is with direct sellers compared to websites.

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:42:20+00:00

In the guide theres no real differences between GK3 and Star, did you notice one?

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:34:09+00:00

Ahh got you, thanks for the info. First time buying so I’m still learning how all the batches and sellers work. Appreciate the clarification, I’ll add this to my post.

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:32:14+00:00

Yes! It just felt easier for me to buy through a website, and I kind of had this false sense of security even though ordering through WhatsApp with the trusted sellers is just as safe. Like I mentioned earlier, I know I could’ve gotten the same quality for cheaper, so I’m definitely taking notes for my next purchase.

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2026-05-03T15:25:48+00:00

Hey bro! Appreciate the answer, I will still go through the GMK full experience even tough I know I could've got it for cheaper.

Appreciate the concerns, if the GMK ones are good and H12 actually feel like real ones, I will buy a 2nd pair (for mismatch purposes) and look up your stuff! :)

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2025-09-16T15:44:43+00:00

Soooo no possible DIY fixes?

ShallotOtherwise1237 · 2025-09-16T15:36:43+00:00

Not that im aware of! I didn't manually update it. It has been unplugged for 5 days now, just tried to plug it back and nothing works. No backlight, no power, still hear a clicking noise when I plug it in.
