Christmas is the time of the year that brings out the best in new sneakers. So when we get closer to the holiday, the sneaker goodies just get better and better. The Kobe 9 EXT 'Christmas' are another one of the fire releases dropping this December.

The festive-colored shoe might be Christmas-themed, but they aren't exactly what Santa would wear. The upper has the traditional Kobe 9 Flynit construction incorporating red and white, a black nike logo, and even green stitching on the upper heel. When it comes to the midsole, the shoe mixes a unique orange, red and white camouflage with black accents.

You can expect the crimson 9s the day after Christmas, December 26th. Make sure you bring that money from Santa you just got because they will retail for a hefty $225.
