Hey All! Welcome back and we hope you all are safe and healthy. Today we take a detailed look at the upcoming Nike KD 13. There are some similarities between the KD 12 and 13, but they kept all [almost] the things we loved about the KD 12 so there isn't much to complain about... other than being quarantined for the foreseeable future 😭. Let us know your thoughts on the Nike KD 13 and whether or not you're excited to try them out on-court eventually. Thank you for stopping by and we'll see you on the next one!
Hey wear testers , Is there a way I could purchase or trade for one of your Kobe’s shoes, not the high dollar one maybe like the Kobe Mamba Focus idk, I can’t find them anywhere, tell me a price or trade and text me back , I really want a pair of these, Thanks love y’all !!
I just ordered a pair of these bad boys! I don't know why people are complaining about these shoes. I love the design, the colour combination, the build quality, the fit/comfort and also the fact that they are versatile and can be worn/used in different circumstances. I really like this "standard" edition exactly because they are soo understated. I hate 'loud" shoes. I don't want my sneakers to look like a freaking Christmas tree or hood ornament!
As a rural raised Ohioan, nothing but love for this channel. We think y’all in Cali are nuts but you keep it real and I always tune in to get my sneaker head itch scratched. Your all’s chemistry is a great thing to see. That’s a REAL chick, never let that one get away from you!
I have the 12’s and 13’s and let me tell you working 10 hr days running 14 floors and an emergency room at the hospital the 13’s are the better shoes true to size with a better upper especially around the ankle it’s more snug. So far I’ve cop 5 pairs of the shoe including the Chill, Hype, Funk . Planet Hoops, and Eybl which dropped today.
Tell me about it. My gym closed the day I got my custom KD 12s ... They've been collecting dust for 3 weeks now! Still like em WAY better than the 13s though!
Not unless you're some rich spoiled celebrity/ies who think they can just do what they damn well please during this lockdown, thinking they're special and rules don't apply to them

Julian Blevins Dude it suck all too high hell !! An am not even 2 block from 24hr fitness or fitness 19 or planet fitness and less than 20 minutes from Golds Gym ..
It's a clean looking shoe.... Its a perfect representation of KD... Humble and not too flashy. Yes all shoes are designed with the consumer in mind, but this is a signature shoe that is made specifically for the athlete.... If it had a Gucci emblem instead if a swoosh people would pay 500 for the exact same shoe.
In Slovenia we can already play outside and these are f*cking beasts! I have the Chill colorway and the stitching of the upper in the middle is really off, like left-right side of each shoe is really 2 rugs stitched together, that said, the performance is absolutely the best thing I have had in years. The double-stacked zoom in the forefoot leaves me in awe even after playing in them for 2 weeks. Also it took me all of 30 mins to break in. Only thing I wish is XDR rubber for outside as these are getting sandpapered pretty fast, lucky we have Nike by You ;)
Fiya design to me and someone say they're not a fan of Kd but how can you not the man has so much passion for the game and he's the best player in the game unstoppable but these 13's look more casual to wear with everything great review Nightwing💯
I agree with you about the materials on the 12's. At first I thought it was a gimmick, but it was super cumfy. I think I'm going to wait for a good CW. These black ones are sitting on websites over here. Keep up the good work. 👌
Great video as always! I like the design of the 12 way more, but moving the extra zoom bag to the forefoot might be enough to make me buy a pair at some point.
Cuppage!! 🤣🤣 That outtake was great too!!! I really enjoyed the quad axial flywire in three 12s...hopefully the upper performs just as well. Still love that the price point has stayed constant all this time...but a still adding new tech. The tongue label reminds me of Chanel no.7. LOL
I hope the dislikes are just for the shoe. If not why hate on this dudes videos??? His videos are what they are suppose to be about the shoe and straight to the point plus he seem chill asf.
Thank you being consistent and informative. I've lost track how many vids i have watched over the past few months 😅 but man, you two are awesome. I love the content, delivery, and quality. One day, ill have a collection of my own, like you two. So far ive got like 8 pairs 😅
I had a pair of KD12 "by you" and i loved it. One day, when I was playing volleyball, the left zoom boomed. The customer service was so unuseful and terrible when it comes to help that i moved to Adidas. No i have 2 pairs of Dame 5 (one is star wars edition) and They feel pretty the same of the this KD. I didn't want to change the KD, i think they are also nice to go out sometimes when their court time is over but nah man, if the customer service is bad, you can not do anything.
Loved the 12s so much! There was basically nothing I could complain about. I was super excited for these and I still think I will like them but the 12s were one of those shoes that we get every few years that is just awesome. I’m with you on the materials, the 12s do seem better, but I guess we shall see!
Nice but looks similar to some of the other Nike signature shoes from the other players. They can only come up with so many designs with LBJ, Gianiss, PG13, and Kyrie on the roster.
Feel so nice I bought 'em twice 👍💯👍 Sizing with KDs is always weird AF; for these, after buying & exchanging TTS for +0.5, then again for TTS +1, I hit the jackpot. Very tight across the top & through sides of the toebox. But the double zoom strobles cannot be beat.
They look better than the 12. And that traction looks like it’ll deal with dust better. After a few weeks in the 12, it held onto dust...I ended up sliding around. No grip. And that black colorway is 🔥. Imagine if it had a gum sole 😱
Just tried these out on my local hard court. These things give the feeling of a great controllable explosiveness. The creamy cushion has spoiled me once and for all, I can't go back to anything other than full length zoom....
@@herbertdadon5830 for me, the rubber on the tracking is the least durable. I've played like 25 hours and under the foot, it's like 75%. But that cushion? It feels better than before and the upper looks good too. So, other than the cushion it's he'd up well. Oh yeah, the top eyelet is coming apart a little because the laces have bitten into the eyelet stay a little, but it's not very noticeable.
I'm in Korea, and they've even got outdoor courts roped off here. Expect things to get worse before they get better. Stay safe everyone! The KD13 looks way better in hand than in those pictures. I dunno, maybe it's growing on me. I hated them when I first saw them. They're out here, but Ive been waiting to hear your thoughts before buying it. The KD12 was absolutely my go to shoe last year...I bought 3 pairs. Hopefully the 13 can be that, too. Can you tell us anything about the bounce outta the box? With the KD12 you could feel it right away. Are the 13s like that? Thanks, I really appreciate you guys!
yo! try the clear translucent outsole option on Nike by you!. It gives a rough idea of the forefoot zoom unit after you are done editing! Hope it quenches your thirst!!
Man for real, i just got my KD12 Aunt Pearl delivered last week to get some hoops in my backyard. I thought they would postponed any sneakers in this covid19 crisis. Dang it! Kd12 is great tho.
They look just like the last model however I may cop when the pandemic is over and these are on sale at the outlets. I am Going to live vicariously through social media on buying 👟 while I save every penny. This looks like a dope show from the late 90’s.
I have two pairs of KD12 with 2 diff CW just because how friggin good that shoe feels and perform. Kinda hope KD13 is not as good. Hahaha..but man, not sure when we cam wear this shoe anyway. You the goat Chris!
Man to be honest i’ve been waiting for this review of KD 13 by you! I’ve watched some of the reviews but they’re mostly chinese and didn’t know how to speak in english.
If the KD 13 are more lightweight than the 12 thats amazing because the only thing that the 12 need was a little less weight otherwise the 12 are a beast of shoe..over the top🔥🔥
Always been curious with the kd line. But the fit just don’t work for me. Not a fan of going a half size up and having that extra length. But, watching your reviews and I get how they would have felt on court if the fit did work for me. Keep it up and more success. 👌🏽 🤜🏻🤛🏽
Another one to try! The way you review the shoes makes me wanna go to my local shop and test them like what I did on the Kyrie 6s last november. I hope this pair would have your approval like the Kd12s. Can you try to review the Jordan Max 200 if you have the time. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Is there gonna be a performance review on these potential bad boys? Of course because of this pandemic its gonna take time, but just wondering. Thanks for the great content Chris! 🙏
the KD12 were not wide-footer friendly. If these are the same as the KD12, does the lighter / cheaper upper matched with the removal of the plastic cupping allow for wide footers to get their feet in? Appreciate it Chris!
These look like the Uptempo Pro (the kobe 1 original/concept design) from 2004. the heel area and the toe in particular. especialy the black and white colour way.

I heard somewhere on Instagram that the forefoot zoom was a kidney shaped bag

I think KD 12 will remain in the Hall of Fame
Would you say that KD12 is overall better than the 13?
@@ianlim3491 12 has more protection, 13 is lighter. pick your poison
The silhouette of the KD13 looks super dope to me on feet. Some dope colorways are coming out too
I love the silhouette also but I'm not a fan of its colorways so far so I'm gonna make a nike by you colorway imo it's worth the extra 10 to 20 bucks.
Agreed!
i like the KD 13s, but they could have released better colorways.
the black colorway is dope. no bright color BS.
agree, love the look of the KD13.
Me: Just got the kd 12
Nike: KD 13
me too
lmaooo
About cop a outlit pair for 40% off. If they ever open soon 😢
yea, and waited a month for an ID
Nike: It’s a marathon not a sprint
Me: bitch i can’t keep up either way 😂
Please someone with a private gym let this man in during this crazy time! I'm 31 and I've looked to nightwing for years for my next game shoe.
Sorry, I'm new here...are you talking about Nightwing the superhero?

@@jrthe2nd494 yea no problem i messed it up it is nightwing 2303
Not feeling these, but the 12's are definitely my favorite shoe next to the Why Not Zer0.3's. Stable, bouncy, great traction, and cozy as hell.
Agreed. Recently got custom 12s ... Too bad my gym is closed and they've been collecting dust for the last few weeks!
what was ur sizing on the kds
How bout your sizing in why not and kd 12 are the same or not?
To every shoe company,
Please donate a basketball court to Chris so he can review them bad boys at his house.
Thanks in advance.
Love the KD12! I’m glad they moved zoom from heel to forefoot for added protection. These def look better on feet vs press pics.
I just ordered a pair of these bad boys! I don't know why people are complaining about these shoes. I love the design, the colour combination, the build quality, the fit/comfort and also the fact that they are versatile and can be worn/used in different circumstances. I really like this "standard" edition exactly because they are soo understated. I hate 'loud" shoes. I don't want my sneakers to look like a freaking Christmas tree or hood ornament!
As a rural raised Ohioan, nothing but love for this channel. We think y’all in Cali are nuts but you keep it real and I always tune in to get my sneaker head itch scratched. Your all’s chemistry is a great thing to see. That’s a REAL chick, never let that one get away from you!
"I want a shoe that molds to my foot" -Kobe in making of the Kobe 6
I have the 12’s and 13’s and let me tell you working 10 hr days running 14 floors and an emergency room at the hospital the 13’s are the better shoes true to size with a better upper especially around the ankle it’s more snug. So far I’ve cop 5 pairs of the shoe including the Chill, Hype, Funk . Planet Hoops, and Eybl which dropped today.
It sucks that there’s no gym’s open

Silhouette of the year? That turquoise blue hits me right 🔥👌🏻
The best RUclips reviewer. Just bought the KD 12 because of Nightwing's review
Man I love the way this shoe looks
Really? They look cheap af

@@TheHilltopperNation It looks clean
I wish Nike had made the overlay near the ankle as an underlay - reminds me of that one piece from the LeBron 9, which had great heel lockdown
Kd 13 is like a fashion shoe then kd 12 is more like basketball shoes just an opinion🤷♂️
Renzo Buenbrazo I just got mine today and your right.
I was like should I play in them or just have them to wear with shorts or jeans 🤔
Edmund Herrera i think it suits you with jeans/short

Yeah another vid I’ve been WAITING for!
Hope you enjoyed it!
WearTesters I sure did enjoy still watching though
I also get strong Adapt BB 1.0 vibes from these - I think it's the CW and the swoosh

Love the KD 12s for ball and will probably just get a second pair of those for cheap once nike outlets are open.
They actually look good on foot. Also the toe shape is better, not looking like a dwarf boot anymore. Just hope it performs better

Yes here in Spain release a few days ago and they al ready release the chain one
