A sucker for yellow on the court!

Just received my pair and I like the way they feel more than the KD 12s. I felt a little wobbly in the 12s due to the rounded outsole and the 13s feel more stable and the traction is really biting on my home hardwoods. Zoom is not that bouncy yet but probably needs break in time. Nothing feels bouncy to me anymore compared to my Jordan Zoom 1s, probably because the zoom on those is right between the insole and rubber outsole. I’m still hoping they make some zoom AJ 1 lows for comfy casual wear. I also hope the insole forms to my foot like Chris from Weartesters suggested might happen. From first impressions I will likely ask the wifey for a Nike By You pair for Father’s Day. Wish I could play in them but for now it will be casual around the house, jump rope routine, and stair sprints in my house to break them in. Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Probably won’t do an “Nike By You”, but I’m glad they kept it at $170. Remember when they were like $190 for a little bit, I think it was the KD 10? Then, shortly after went back to $170.
 
Initial try on, I like these more than the 12. Feel a little wider than the 12. Like the tongue more on the 12 but they lowered the height on the 13 which I like. TTS is a little snug, my toe has a tiny amount of space, think I’m gonna half sz up. I could pull off the 11, but Id wear them less due to being more restricting compared to other sneakers so I’ll just half sz up. For reference Im an 11 in everything expect Jordan 34 and Kyrie 4-6. Had to go up half sz on those.

How's the ventilation so far?
 
How's the ventilation so far?
Not bad. I’ve only worn them around the house so far. I’m wearing my Jordan 34s today and they seem hotter. Not sure if it’s psychological but I haven’t tried the 13s on and compared the ventilation to other shoes. Your question prompted me to switch out of the 34s into the KD 13s and they feel fairly similar. KDs actually feel a little lighter to me and maybe it’s just because I’m paying attention more but my feet don’t feel like they are sweating as much after the switch. Don’t feel like foamposites and don’t feel like flyknit. somewhere in the middle.
