Kd 13 Easy Money Sniper Stockx

The nicest part of the KD 13 is the full-length Zoom Strobel which provides one of the best cushioning setups in basketball. The traction pattern does a good job in all directions and is tough and thick enough to last outdoors. The materials are thin, lightweight, and perform well but the quality doesn't feel premium in-hand. Support comes from the wide base and good fit however the minimal upper doesn't provide as much lockdown as previous KD models. As for most KD models, the fit of the KD13 is very comfortable if you have regular or narrow feet, wide-footers should go up half a size or look elsewhere. Overall, the KD 13 is a great basketball shoe with outstanding cushioning.

The performance is off the charts: cushioning is awesome and traction is good too. The materials could have been a little bit more premium and supportive. Overall, the KD 13 is very similar to the KD12 and a phenomenal performance hoop shoe.

The KD 13 is a great performer! The materials are just okay, but everything else is really solid.

Watch the video

We'll say it again... arguably the greatest cushioning setup we've tested at PureKicks! Overall, this is the greatest out of box experience we've ever had. Don't miss out and make sure you cop these!

The Nike KD 13 improves on the KD 12 by improving stability and cushioning. It's one of my top shoes for 2020 and really has no flaws.

I love this shoe! Traction seemed good, cushioning is incredible and the fit was perfect for me

I really enjoy the Nike KD 13, but they're not perfect. Cushioning and traction are awesome but containment and stability leave a bit to be desired.

One of my favourite shoes I have and they have amazing traction and cushioning

Traction of the Nike KD 13 :

The mix of circular and horizontal lines give you multidirectional traction. The grip is on-point whether you play outdoors or indoors.

Watch the video

The circular traction pattern performs really nicely. It sticks like glue and picks up very little dust.

Watch the video

This traction did what it was supposed to do with a great bite and coverage. It also didn't collect any dust at all.

Watch the video

The traction grips hard and picks up basically no dust. It performs excellently.

The traction seems to be really good but I wasn't able to test them on an indoor court.

The nubs and circular cups of the traction pattern work in every direction you're moving or stopping.

Cushion of the Nike KD 13 :

Full-length Zoom cushioning with an additional Zoom Air unit in the forefoot. Like we are used to from the KD line, this is one of the best cushioning setups out there!

Watch the video

The full-length Zoom Air gives you great responsiveness and court feel while also providing good impact protection. This is probably my favorite cushioning setup right now.

Watch the video

The cushioning is no joke! Nike came through with double stacked Zoom and this is arguably the greatest cushion setup we have ever tested. The impact protection is outer wordly, the response is stupid, and the court feel is mad!

Watch the video

I'm in love with the full-length Zoom Strobel. You ride just close enough to the ground, but still, it feels bouncy. It's the best cushion on the market right now.

Watch the video

The full-length Zoom Strobel is pretty damn nice. Impact protection is good, there is a lot of bounce and the court feel is decent too.

The full-length Zoom Air feels springy but smooth at the same time. Every time I put them on, I'm always surprised by how damn comfortable they are.

Materials of the Nike KD 13 :

The combination of Mesh and textile materials feels a lot lighter than the KD 12, but unfortunately, also a little cheaper and less premium. But they definitely get the job done.

Watch the video

The textile materials are a downgrade from the KD12 but they get the job done.

Watch the video

The materials on the KD 13 consist of a soft upper constructed from minimal materials that feels broken in from the start. Breathability isn't great though and this shoe was pretty hot to hoop in. Overall, the materials are comfortable and this shoe in general screams comfort!

Watch the video

It features a ripstop mesh-like upper. It looks nice visually and allows for a lot of different prints. In terms of performance, it is very dependable. I love the feel of them.

Watch the video

The quality of the textile used in the upper feels a little cheap but works well on-foot. The padding on the tongue and heel is very comfortable.

Textiles and ripstop style materials are used and it's just not impressive at all.

Support of the Nike KD 13 :

April 17, 2020

The removal of Flywire and the more minimal upper mean that there is less support than in the KD 12, but I never had any issues playing defense or doing crossovers.

Watch the video

The support was amazing, with no heel slippage or side-to-side movement.

Watch the video

Great lockdown from the fit with an internal heel counter and external heel clip. The outrigger of the shoe, the clip near the front toe, plus the lacewing help with lateral movements. Overall great support in the KD 13.

Watch the video

There is no problem with lockdown, the heel containment is awesome, and there is no slippage. I felt very stable and secure.

Watch the video

The flat base and rubber on the lateral side of the shoe provide a lot of stability on cuts. The internal TPU heel counter prevented any heel slippage.

My feet would occasionally slide over the footbed because of the lack of a forefoot outrigger or containment cage.

The fit is not insanely comfortable but that doesn't hinder the performance at all!

I had no dead space in the toe box and the fit was pretty close to 1:1.

The KD 13 is what we've come to expect fit wise from the KD line which is pretty narrow. The lacing system and half booty construction are great for creating that locked-in feeling.

It fits my foot very well as a regular footer.

The KD 13 is very comfortable and needs no break-in time at all.

The rubber is pretty sturdy and worked well outdoors for me and held up well.

Watch the video

The durability was okay, but it would probably be best not to play outdoors all the time in the KD 13. The Nike ID does have an XDR option for outdoor hoopers.

Watch the video

It's made of hard rubber, so it should be dependable outdoors.

Watch the video

The rubber is pretty thick and durable.

Runs a little bit long.
