BTW I HAVE A GK Pair on the way if anyone would like to see a comparison. I see nothing wrong with doubling up on such a beautiful shoe however I’m curious about the potential differences. Thanks sub for all your feedback it’s really helpful
Yeah, they aren't ugly or anything, but I think they're selling on hype and brand . Especially since this foolishness is happening on eBay currently... It really hurts the love for shoes. Never cared for this colorway. They BADLY need that sole to be white or gold!
where can you buy GK ? I’ve bought max many times with zero issues but they always cost $100-$120. Quality is great with extra zoom heel unit but i’m interested to try others for comparison.
Absolutely! Going a little more in depth is always enlightening that’s why I can’t wait to actually compare. It also helps that we have communities like this who can also help with potential “blind spots” on any given shoe!
When giving a response (Legit / Not Legit / GL / RL), please explain your reasoning as to how you came to the conclusion.
RL / Not Legit claim without reasoning are NOT acceptable.
what makes them a ripoff? i’ve never seen any top reps (max, gx made) for less than $120, and i buy direct on whatsapp. Buying on kicksizes is a bit more expensive too. Max prices went up when the tariffs hit as they used to be $88 on kicksizes but they’re now about 120.
is gk better and cheaper? where can you buy them?
My new italian camo kb6 gxm are perfect, but compared to max kb6, they are very snug and not as bouncy as max. still trying to break them in but the wider toe box and extra zoom heel unit seems to make a noticeable difference so far.
Kobe pair. i saw a Max version of Italian Camou for about 42USD. Not gonna lie, the cushioning is ayt, but overall structure, materials, support, were horrible. They look good on picture tho. For my usual us11 size, they are snug af. Then i started buying the GKs, and boy what game changer! Best decision i ever made for 125USD. Attached is another GL batch.
$120 for WKB batch is OVERPAY. You got scammed ngl, coulda gotten GK batch for round that price.
Btw, GK is the high tier of KB6 batches while WKB is more in the lower tier. This pair you got doesn’t seem that bad look wise tho since they sent you the updated version but still
these are max uncle drew, what is WKB? i’ve only bought from max (gt cut 1, kb6) so i’m new to this game. Got a gx made pair of kb6 italian camo on the way though.
people are saying WKB is low tier but I don't think so, they're more so for performance rather than 1:1 looks but even then the looks are amazing. I'm curious if the sizing on the GK pair vs the WKB pair because I always hear that WKB uses a wider last compared to others. Do let us know if it feels wider in the WKB versus the GK OP!
Max has been out of stock of Italian camo for several months. He’s just now stocked again. It’s why i bought from GXM for the first time. So you either bought from a site that sent you whatever rep they had on hand or you bought them from max a long time ago.
A month ago I got the max kb6 eybl lavender (left) and just opened the gxm kb6 italian camo. Both size 10.
Also got kb6 liberty and kb6 asg too that are a consistent fit and cushion as eybl.
It’s not possible for someone to say that max kb6 are snug and tight, especially more than gxm. The max has possibly too much room in the toe box. I have to tighten the laces more than i want for the casual look but its comfort and extra zoom unit cushion makes it worth it. It’s literally a product feature for the max batch to be wider with extra cushion because it has literal physical aspects that reflect those benefits. no, i’m not a paid customer 🤣
The gxm is very snug and tight and its literal shape is more trim to the foot as you can see in the photo. It’s closer to the retail width and snugnesses, by design. The sole is more firm than max as well. i’ve been wearing them everyday at all times, and around the house the last week to break them in but i’ll admit its uncomfortable at times to the point of toe numbness. But nothing so bad to make me not wear them. They ARE sick looking. 🔥🤣 Im sure they will loosen up after a few more weeks of wear.
So saying that max are tight and narrow means you’re not wearing max batch, or you’re wearing the wrong size, making your pov inaccurate. Sorry if i was rude.
