A Closer Look at One of China's Oldest Sneaker Teams
Introduction to H12 and Godkiller Batch
H12 is one of the earliest teams in China to serve the international sneaker market. Instead of producing shoes themselves, H12 typically places orders with various factories to create their batches.
Godkiller (GK) is a premium line launched by the H12 team, mainly focusing on Kobe sneaker models. While GK batches are known for excellent quality and materials, they also come with limited availability and high prices.
The Reality Behind Godkiller: Strengths and Issues
Although GK is considered a top-tier batch for Kobe shoes, there are a few concerns to be aware of:
Low stock: GK shoes are often produced in small quantities.
Inconsistent fulfillment: Due to supply shortages, some customers may receive other batches (like S2) without being notified—especially if they are unfamiliar with batch differences.
Internal management: H12’s operations can sometimes be disorganized, leading to inconsistent service.

Other Notable Models by H12
Apart from Kobe models, H12 also produces high-quality versions of:

Fragment x Dunk
These are generally considered better than M batch versions and are worth considering for collectors.
H12’s Role in the Market Today
While H12 was once a pioneer in the sneaker market, their main focus is not on premium-quality production. Most of their releases fall into two categories:
Mass-market shoes from other batches.
Lower-end self-developed models made to meet basic market demand.
Because only a small portion of buyers truly understand or care about batch and perfect quality, H12’s current strategy is to provide accessible, mid-quality products at relatively.
Final Thoughts
The Godkiller batch remains one of the best for Kobe sneakers, but availability and pricing make it difficult for many buyers. For serious buyers looking for top Kobe replicas, both GK and Star batches are worth considering.
H12, once a leading team in the global sneaker market, now focuses more on serving average consumers rather than producing elite versions across all shoe models.
