| 0.06 – 0.08 | Minimal Wear ★ | $5,000–8,000 | Ultra-clean — vivid crimson design | Collector Tier |
| 0.08 – 0.15 | Minimal Wear | $2,000–5,000 | Clean look — slight finger wear | Recommended |

| 0.38 – 0.45 | Well-Worn | $500–900 | Noticeable fading on red tones | Budget |

★ No Factory New exists for any gloves — Minimal Wear is the best available condition. Low-float MW (0.06–0.08) commands a massive premium over standard MW. Use our inspect tool to check the exact float of any glove.
Specialist Gloves | Crimson Kimono features a stunning Japanese-inspired design with deep crimson red tones and traditional patterns. Introduced during Operation Hydra in May 2016, when gloves were first added to CS, Crimson Kimono quickly became one of the most recognizable and sought-after glove skins. The Specialist Gloves model — with its clean, tactical look — provides an excellent canvas for the rich crimson artwork, making it a favorite pairing with red-themed weapon loadouts.
For gloves, float value matters significantly more than for typical weapon skins. Because gloves occupy a large portion of the screen and are always visible during gameplay, every bit of wear is noticeable. A low-float MW Crimson Kimono (0.06–0.08) displays the full vibrancy of the crimson design with minimal scuffing, while a high-float MW (0.12–0.15) shows visible wear on the fingers and knuckles. This visual difference translates to a 3–5x price premium for the cleanest copies. Use our inspect tool to verify exact float values.
All gloves share two important constraints: they cannot be Factory New (minimum float ~0.06) and they have no StatTrak versions. Pattern index has minimal impact on appearance — the Crimson Kimono design is consistent across all pattern seeds. This simplifies evaluation: float value is the single most important factor. When shopping for Crimson Kimono gloves, focus entirely on getting the lowest float within your budget.
