@allensmith9879 that's how I feel with WKB: immediate step in comfort and no break needed. Now you have me super curious on the 2.0, you still have to break in the materials?
@@SolesDifferent ofc Kobe 6s were made that way, it’s written on the insoles. When I get them new I loosen the laces as much as I can whilst still being able to ties them & just wear them casually walk around and get some heat & moisture going, even just for a couple minutes. The only other way you’re doing it is taking the outsoles out & popping them in the oven for however much time people say I’ve never personally done that but it does make sense that’s how those outsoles work they soften up with heat & form around you’re heel, balls of foot & toes. I personally enjoy breaking new shoes in, especially Kobe’s & especially Kobe 6’s because they fit perfectly like a nice leather baseball glove when they’re broken in.
@allensmith9879 I just hate the break in time for kobes, so that's why I love the WKB better, but like you said, after a good time, GK grew on me big time. Compared to S2 and star: GK and WKB are where it's at.
Believe it or not that means you need to tie it down tighter around the area that pulls your heel into the heel cup. My kyrie's do that to me but when I time down and get my foot tightly laced up in there that pain goes away
@@SolesDifferent thanks man! I thought S2 is better than wkb. Been receiving mixed rankings from different people. I guess it depends on personal preference
@schm0sbyy yep. I think in kobe 5 S2 is way better. But for the kobe 6 my personal preference is WKB, but most hoopers would be best to stick to s2 and kickwho.
kickwho and retail feel pretty much the same. You look like a big guy so it makes sense that you like really like these and like the wkbs instead. i have 2 retails pairs and they feel the same other than kickwho being more narrow.
I got the grinches and mambacitas. They are very comfortable but I have a lot of heel slippage if I don’t tie em really tight. Do you think I should go a full size down cause they don’t have 11.5
I reckon ud very better off going w 12, cause If they have a snug fit, one, it'll be a bit painful to break in and two, once uve broken it in, it's still small, so 12 would be better, cause it will only break in as much as ur foot takes up cause it's a snug fit
Also there is no sales tax kickwho does Friends & Family PP now so it’s straight up $160 flat also I can’t speak for WK 2.0s yet but the 1.0s durability was very disappointing. Cushioning was softer (will bottom out faster) but so was the outsole.
Friends & Family you still pay a tax. It's goods and services where you don't pay and they pay. I recently just tested my new wkb and old wkb and idk it still feels better tho the fit of the kw grew on me. Thanks for insight as well.
The 2.0 Zoom turbo Units are CRAZY. They’re bigger & better than the actual Nike shoes.
See this is what I wanted to know because all they specified was the scaling and coloring were much better. Maybe I should look into the 2.0 then.
@@SolesDifferent Definitely, it’s the first thing you notice when you put them on even just standing. It’s how zoom turbo should be.

I feel like you should have gone up a half size to a full size. The shoes look comically small on you
It’s cheaper to buy h12/GK batch through agents and not middlemen websites like kickwho
How??
May you please rank the ff batches of kobe 5s/6s from best to worst: S2, WKB, kickwho, Godkiller
Best to worst
1. KICKWHO 2.WKB 3.S2. (GODKILLER IS KICKWHO.)

True. Best comment thus far.
what size should i get im usually a size 11-11.5
Is the $10 customs insurance a must?
Nah, unless you're anywhere besides the US. Those customs agents seize like crazy from what KobeReps reddit has said.
@@SolesDifferent seize what?
@@baffnt9897 the shoes.

I don't know about a full size you're feet might be getting strangled to death
do they accept paypal??
I believe that's the only way. They bitcoin other stuff but I don't mess with that.
I recently just copped this same pair and DAMN I was impressed.. never been into reps and this pair changed my mind drastically
Tape in with kick who, they changing the game
Hopefully more people like this end up having this mentality. if they keep making exclusive shoes/ making limited quantities.. reps are the way to go.
what’s ur tights called?
Are their prices in usd or aud?
What’s the best seller for Kobe 5 Bruce Lee alternate for performance and looks
Kickwho
Do they squeak ?
They do.
How long did it take to ship to you?
I think maybe 2 weeks. I was surprised because this was when the mambacita just got released.
They dont have 11.5 so should i still get a size 12 my feet are somewhat wide but not that much
I reckon ud very better off going w 12, cause If they have a snug fit, one, it'll be a bit painful to break in and two, once uve broken it in, it's still small, so 12 would be better, cause it will only break in as much as ur foot takes up cause it's a snug fit
Amazing review bro!!!
Thanks!
I need someone to review these who isn’t bias and is sponsored. Are they actually good??
They are good. I wish I was sponsored by kickwho.. $160 is still alot for reps in my eyes
Also there is no sales tax kickwho does Friends & Family PP now so it’s straight up $160 flat also I can’t speak for WK 2.0s yet but the 1.0s durability was very disappointing. Cushioning was softer (will bottom out faster) but so was the outsole.

Hey I’m a size 10.5 in normal Nike shoes but I’m an 11 in kyries since I have a wide foot. Should I definitely get a size 11 in the Kobe 6s?
get a 10.5
Is the traction good
Once you break in the rubber. I think it's incredible.
@@SolesDifferentabout how long do you have until you have to wipe the bottom of the shoe
Wearing kobes to tennis🤣🤣🤣
most indoor sports people wear basketball shoes. any hardwood activity is great with BBall shoes.
You right
Yeah, I was being a hater a couple of months back, but I'm a believer now.
whats the difference between the 2.0s and 1.0
Better cushioning and the scaling. From what I know.
Where can i get the wkb ?
Hit me up on insta I got you homie.
Do they squeak
Like crazy. Once broken in.
Are these 2.0 batch?
No these are 1.0.
@@SolesDifferent how is the durability?
@@snw1827 alot better than I thought
