I must admit, at first when pictures of this Nike Kobe 9 KRM EXT ‘Challenge Red’ or Red Mamba or Red Viper hit the internet I was a bit skeptical. BUT now these detailed pictures or as I should say official pictures from Nike Store have won me over just a bit. These are not that bad. I look at like this, if you can do high top Pradas, then what is the issue here.
Check out said official pictures and release details from Nike Store below and let us know down in the comments if these will be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
KOBE 9 KRM EXT: MAMBA MEETS THE RED VIPER
The Kobe 9 continues to stretch the imagination, taking its heightened innovation from the court to the community with a Mamba-centric lifestyle feel.
The latest Kobe 9 EXT is meant to embody the aesthetic and attitude of the venomous Red Viper. Exuding a serpent-like appearance, the upper is styled in Challenge Red KRM that forms compression molded TPU triangles, mimicking the viper’s vibrant pointy scales. Premium Challenge Red leather on the heel and collar also features a scaly snake-inspired pattern and tonal stitching. Additionally, a black midsole produces a striking juxtaposition that contours chrome inlays to shine off the court.
Strike the pavement in red. The Kobe 9 EXT drops December 19th on nike.com/sportswear and at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide.
