The leather portion will eventually become compressed.
Nothing on it's face, but eventually the leather portion of the under tip will become compressed and might lose some efficacy or change the feel of the hit.
You could same the same for any tip. You could just leave a kamui black hard the same without ever shaping it or changing it, but eventually it plays different.
It will be less dramatic a change with the under tip and just replacing the top portion will work, but I recommend changing it every six months to a year. Potentially more often depending on how much you play. I will likely change the whole thing on mine every couple of months because of how often I play (30-60 hours a week).

What exactly would cause the under tip to "wear out"?
