I started out with GK, and that's where I'm staying at. I still like the batch comparison videos. If GK made every colorway: GAME OVER. In my humble opinion...🙏
I appreciate you made a performance comparison video on GK vs GX. I have ordered a GX Reverse Grinch and it should arrive today. I always wonder how stiff does the GX upper because people always point that out. It does look stiff when you pressed down the upper compared to GK where it looks more malleable I guess. My question is about the GK, do you feel the zoom turbo protrudes up? And did you feel the GX cushion still gives you impact protection despite the cushion being so stiff to start?
About the zoom protuding on the GK, I didn't feel it protrude much, maybe just a tad. Felt like they were better implemented here compared to some of my other shoes (one of my 5s notably). I suppose the protruding feeling is also affected more and more as the cushion around the zoom bottoms out over a longer period of time. As for the GX impact protection, yes it does still protect but the fall-down won't feel as plush as the GK but also doesn't feel like a brick wall.
I can't really compare it accurately to any other Kobe 6 that I had. I had some WKB 8s that had some really stiff uppers, but those caused alot of pinching whereas the GX didn't have pinching but still felt stiff, robust, harder to bend and push around compared to GK.
