HOW TO: Clean, Prep & Dye Your Suede Shoes Using Angelus Suede Dyes!

[@arielahyden]

Hello I have a pair of Alexander McQueens I accidentally put bleach on the black suede at the back not a big problem at all but what would recommend to touch it up? I have the black dye but I don’t have a cleaner or finisher or anything. I’m very worried and shook, I want to just go in with a fine line brush and touch up but not sure if I need anything else ? And if I don’t have cleaner what would u recommend as not a big job at all

[@FeelgoodThreads]

If it’s not exactly dirty then you can just touch it up but keep in mind that there are several shades of black too.

[@ryananderson3532]

you should do a vid of how to dye black suede or nubuck other colors like burgundy, navy blue etc

[@unclebanana]

I second this request.

[@FeelgoodThreads]

black suede is the toughest to flip, I recommend finding another base because you have to dye black to grey first , then what color you want.

[@FeelgoodThreads]

[@elRnBtv]

So it is possible to dye dark suede into light suede, and how?

[@andreiixari7550]

Feelgood Threads why does it turns into a bronze "colour" on ur hand? Same problem on my sneakers, after i started to paint, it turns bronze only on some parts of surface. Why..?!

[@phillipdeluca9930]

I bought a pair of Jordan swift Laker edition. Is there a way to change the toe from black to grey like he pair of your working on in this video?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

I would say that is possible by hitting it with light grey dye first then layers of dark grey dye.

[@JI-to5qh]

Gonna try the navy blue dye on my international 12s and gonna repaint them lets see what happens And also will this fix them if they are faded because there real faded right now

hi, i like your video , and also i have a tip to use 1 step:: before cleaning and dye paint , fill your whole shoes til the top, with reading -paper props/cramps, they can't get any ugly cracks on the top of the nose or everywhere, its about to keep the model in shape within you cleaning,and dye paint your sneaker...

[@sharyland80]

I have a question. I want to dyed a pair of shoes of nubuck leather, they are light purple and i want to use black dyed. If i am using black dyed, do i need to use the neutralizer? Thanks

[@FeelgoodThreads]

The black dye usually has a purple or brownish tint so you should use something to help pay down the excess dye so you’re not left with a purplish or brownish/golden hue.

[@marcusbrooks8432]

@@FeelgoodThreads so if I buy the angelus and put it on Black Cat 4s should I use a regular shoe cleaner(mgk) after to not possibly get that purplish tint?

[@slickmike6599]

I tried to re dye my all red jordan 12s and it left gold or bronze color on them, how can I fix it and why does it do that

[@FeelgoodThreads]

I think I mention if you use denatured alcohol and a microfiber towel you can wipe off that hue. That is over saturated dye.

Does the Angelus suede dye need 2 - soft mixed with it ?

[@christinaduncan8285]

If you're dying brand new shoes, would you recommend going through the cleaning process, as well?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

Yeah just better to start off with a guaranteed clean pair of suede shoes. People assembled them and may have gotten oils or other chemicals on them that may not help the dye process.

[@christiankaiser8676]

or how about this type of dye in a huge bucket with water to crazy dilute that shade of orange so it won't make them too dark?? will this process dry evenly?

[@MrsMeristil]

Is it possible to turn black suede to charcoal gray?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

[@LuzidFlows]

Dope song choice in this. Do you have to apply something afterwards to make sure the dye doesn't run if water hits it or so the dye won't rub off accidentally?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

Eric Luzid i use a water and stain protectant by Angelus to help bleeding and protect the suede.

I want to dye my Michigan yellow jordan 5’s to orange. Do the same tips in this video apply to that custom?? Do I have to buy those 2 additional dyes to complete the custom?? Also angelus only has orange leather dye, is it almost the same process, or do I have to take additional steps.

[@quenvanwijk]

Can i use something else than the neutral dye to make it lighter?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

Flowerbitch yes a lighter version of the color that you have. For example, navy blue can be lightened if you add blue. Keep in mind that this way will not lighten as much as adding neutral.

[@quenvanwijk]

Feelgood Threads I just used water and it worked fine, dont know if its going to hold up though.

[@ricardomartinez7862]

Do you need to apply any finisher when working with suede/nubuck?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

It’s not exactly a finisher but I add a water & stain repellant to them to help protect them from liquids.

[@Ree_Boutit]

Good shit my guy ! I’m about to start customizing, but I’m gonna get at least 4-5 weeks of experience under my belt before I do my Bordeaux 7s. Mine aren’t in the best condition tho.. some crease and certain spots have deteriorated . Would you recommend I do 5 or more layers or use darker colors only ?

[@FeelgoodThreads]

Ree Boutit suede dye is very tricky. Sometimes if the shoes are too beat, they may not be recoverable. Light coats and trying to put cushioning inside the shoes so all the creases are ironed out will help.

[@Ree_Boutit]

Feelgood Threads I appreciate it ! About how long did they hold up ? Or are they still going strong ?

[@itsneogio]

Feelgood Threads yep I get you, I'd like to be able to mix dyes for things like the am1 cherrywood, chlorophyll and curry those I can't seem to even get close to haha

[@FeelgoodThreads]

Paul Giovanni notice that you usually don't see loud or bright colors for suede. That's because the dyes don't have the power to make them like that unless a company makes a specific dye to color for example a purse, loafers or other suede items.

What’s the difference from painting the suede with angelus paint,and dying the suede with angelus dye?

[@NathanTheClutchMan-yt1vv]

Theonlytray .toons it's more expensive because you need to buy the paint and some 2-soft and that will cost you about 6$ and the dye cost you $4

[@FeelgoodThreads]

suedes must be dyed using suede dye. ive seen some people try painting with paint plus 2 soft, but ive also seen them become ashy easily. Problem is, dye does not come in certain colors

[@Gracesol_ink]

Feelgood Threads yea ik now I figured it out lol,thanks tho

[@JuggaloSupreme]

@@NathanTheClutchMan-yt1vv - If $10 is expensive for fixing your shoes, you shouldn't get into refurbishing them...or you spent $10 on your shoes! LOL Ten bucks is cheap as hell to bring your kicks back to new-looking! If it would work...not on suede, but for leather uppers it's GREAT & the 2-Soft allows you to paint sock-liners and other fabrics (like hats...sometimes $30) So depends on what you spent on your kicks. Good luck!

[@JuggaloSupreme]

Plus one bottle of Angelus can do up to like 50 pair of shoes, depending on what you need, so you have PLENTY of extra for other shoes or to maintain the same pair! (That comes to like .10 - .75 a pair!!) You do have to finish the job with a spray matte finish or something (another $5), but then then can be in a flood of sewer water & the paint STILL won't run, wash off, or get damaged in any way! (Sadly, I learned that one from experience...but also good news!) Remember though...that's for leather & not suede. Suede you should dye. Good Luck!

[@unclebanana]

How feasible would it be to dye the grey panels on this colorway of 7's bright green? Also, how feasible is it to dye black nubuck? I had an idea in my head of getting some infrared 6's and doing a crazy neon green, and varsity red combo over the black nubuck, but after watching this video, I'm thinking that maybe working around the clearly defined edges of the bordeaux 7's might be better. The edges are clean and well defined as stated above, but you also get lighter colored sections which are presumably going to show colors more brightly as opposed to trying to throw some vivid saturated color dyes at black nubuck.
