Can I go straight from the Saucony Kinvara 13 to the Kinvara 15 and skip the Kinvara 14?

Yes, but going Kinvara 13 to Kinvara 15 means taking one change in a single step: the Kinvara 14 is where the ride moved. Drop holds at 4 mm, so the difference is foam and fit rather than geometry: PWRRUN foam to PWRRUN foam with a cushioned sockliner.

How much did the weight change across these two updates?

0.5 oz off in total, 7.2 oz to 6.7 oz in a men's US 9. The Kinvara 14 took it to 6.8 oz first.

Is the Kinvara 14 the better buy than either of these?

On paper it splits them: 6.8 oz against 7.2 oz for the Kinvara 13 and 6.7 oz for the Kinvara 15, on a 31 mm heel and a $120 list price. Whether that is worth chasing depends on what the Kinvara 14 update actually did, which the section above works through.

Where does the Kinvara 15 sit in the Kinvara lineup now?

Two versions on from the Kinvara 13, and already replaced itself: the Kinvara 16 arrived in 2025. If you are shopping old stock anyway, price the Kinvara 15 against it before deciding.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Two updates and 2 years separate the Saucony Kinvara 13 from the Kinvara 15. Net change: 0.5 oz lighter, a new midsole. The Kinvara 14 is where the character changed, and that is the update Kinvara 13 owners notice first.

Or buy the Kinvara 14 instead?

The Kinvara 14 is worth a look only if you want the ride it introduced, because that is the update that changed the shoe. Buying it to soften the jump does not work: you would be adapting to the same change either way, just at an older spec.
