The Kobe 9 High KRM EXT sneaker was introduced in December 2014 as a stylish variation of the original performance design. It showcases a vibrant 'Challenge Red' color scheme with snake-inspired textures incorporated into its overall aesthetic. In addition to these unique design elements, the high-top sneaker is distinguished by its premium features such as a leather tongue, a glossy mirror-like finish on the midsole, and synthetic python detailing on the upper.
