The upper is primarily made of muted teal suede.

What is the main design feature differentiating this from other Kobe 4s?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid water.

Laces are difficult to tie securely

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with a fresh pair of the same length and material.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check if socks are appropriate for the footwear.
