The BEST Way to Clean Suede Shoes

You’ve only got two weeks left to enter into our June Giveaway! We’ve already gotten hundreds of entries so make sure you are subscribed to Reshoevn8r and comment below which shoes you would pick if you are our lucky winner!
On today’s episode of Shoe Care Academy, our favorite sneaker restorer Vick Almighty takes on the challenge of cleaning up the April SB Dunks which have already started to bleed just from wearing them! Vick knows just what to do to prevent the bleeding from going any further so if you own a pair of these, pay attention!
Before getting into the cleaning, Vick pulled off the Sole Shield that he applied a few weeks ago, and the sole looks as good as new; make sure to cop some on Reshoevn8r.com to protect your icy soles! Sole Shields not only keep your soles clean, but they help slow the oxidation process and star loss. Before getting the shoe wet, Vick took the shoe to the air compressor to blow out all the dirt and dust trapped in the mesh and suede. Since these shoes are delicate it is important to pay attention to all of the steps and to really take your time. This is why Vick chose to utilize the compressor.
Some deeper stains remained in the suede after using the compressor, so Vick pulled out the Reshoevn8r Dry Suede Kit to use the eraser to remove them! By gently rubbing the eraser on the stains and removing the debris with the brush, Vick got the suede looking even better!
Now it’s time for the cleaning! Vick started off by using the Stiff Bristle Brush on the parts of the outsole left exposed from the Sole Shield and the midsole. Next, he used a Sneaker Wipe to buff away the remaining stains on the midsole and the dye that bled onto the tongue tag.
Now it’s time for the water & solution! This is going to be the hardest part of the cleaning, so pay super close attention to this. Vick broke this cleaning up into parts; first, he took care of all the white mesh and leather panels with the Soft Bristle Brush and then detailed it with the microfiber towel. Then he took on the the Turbo Green suede, scrubbing it then pat drying with the microfiber towel before moving on to the next panel.
Before setting the shoe outside to dry, Vick took it back to the compressor to blow out any excess water that may run and cause color bleed during the drying process. Once the shoe was dry, Vick reset the nap on the suede using a dry Medium Bristle Brush and attempted to remove the dye that stained the sock liner but unfortunately, it was on there for too long!
All in all the cleaning was a process. These April SB's are a beautiful shoe, but they are incredibly delicate. Make sure to follow these steps to avoid ANY issues.

We need a video of y’all cleaning the futuras asap!

[@crownedinterror9]

This!!

[@LaeeqDevajee]

one thing about me, i absolutely HATE cleaning suede and mesh, it always seems to be a struggle for me however this tutorial made it easier, used this method to clean some air max 1s, THANKS VICK 🙌🏽🙌🏽 would really love and appreciate those bred 4s, much love 🙏🏽🇿🇦❤️

[@xcalciferx]

Super happy you did this show cleaning. Really difficult one and perfect timing. Hope I can get the Jordan 4 breads and industrial blues 🙏🏼

[@juanjoseguinac3262]

I’m barely getting into sneakers and honestly I’m glad I bump into your videos! They help me how to clean my Jordan’s and certain suede shoes! And I’ll choose the J balvin RIO 3s!

[@Emilio-y1s]

love the channel, you guys always have great content. I would love to have the pair of 4’s. Keep up the good work Vick!

[@CarlosACastillo]

I have those April’s, love them and now I know how to clean them. As for the giveaway, I would pick the bred and military Js.

[@justinkotrba2197]

what a great giveaway! Id go with the Bred 4s in size 13 since I never got em :( Been looking for a video like this to clean suede and cloth materials. They are always the hardest to clean.

[@justsomeguy8029]

Definitely need the 4s, especially 2 OG colourways 🔥

[@race2winnet]

It's hard for me to believe that I would not pick the 3s since that is my favorite silhouette, but I would have to go with the 4s for sentimental reasons. I had the OGs from my senior year in high school, but somehow, they were "lost" when I divorced 8 years ago. These would make good replacements. Thanks.

[@Sneaky_freek]

Great timing! I just un-DS'ed my April's today

[@raloohmurphy8688]

This is a great video. I've been working on Jordan 13s. The suede is cooked on 1 side. But thanks for the video. I like those bred & blue J4s

[@haitruong3372]

I would love the jordan 4’s. Never had the military 4 and blue is my favorite color. Glad they came back with the Nike air on the back tab. So clean for the summer vacation.!

[@bfben7043]

I would like the 4s. Just bought a pair of industrial blues so it would be nice to have the other shoes too

[@sneakerheadz_academy]

I want those Balvin 3’s bad… Great content. I’d like to suggest a video showing how to clean NBs from the 990 series in suede. 🙏🏽

[@ethandowell9251]

Def pick the 3s, also if the shoe has any white mesh material on it that got bleed on tide pod bleach pens work really well, i have a purple pair of zoom 1s that bleed like crazy but with the pen ive managed to keep them crispy

[@Deniable_dust07]

Bred 4's have to be the most 🔥 for me just so clean of a sneaker

[@Deshaunwatzon]

Would definitely pick the military blues, never had a pair of 4s🙏 sick vid vick and team

[@leonardo.zepeda]

The first time i wore my Lost Amd Founds my pants dyed the toungue and the laces black. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean them up and it worked out perfectly. You should definitly try that!

[@nathanielfelix9407]

i’d pick industrial blue 4s (Military 4s) cause of that OG color way 🔥 takes me way back

[@BlackipinoGambino]

what’s the hardest material to clean? feel like it’s maybe canvas no? I’m scared about getting anything on the white part of my futuras haha. Id forsure pick the j balvins given I own the blue 4’s and normal bred 4’s already. I do still eventually want a reimagined bred tho, can’t go wrong with leather

[@Goose-ham]

i’d probably end up picking the 4s since i’ve had my eyes on them for a whiiillleeeee. i started watching the channel for a few months n ive been loving it! keep up the amazing work!

[@lotion_bagel]

Honestly, the 4’s. I didn’t hit on the Military Blues on SNKRS and I’ve been wanting them for a good price ever since.

[@owenput14]

I would choose the 4s!! I love you product, it works every time

[@JT-yl3no]

It’s my birthday so why not try my luck. I would take the J Balvins. Those are fire. Great content and I like the kicks you make for JT.

[@mikethompson3780]

I would love either option tbh but if I had to pick, the 2 pairs of 4s 🙌🏽🔥

[@koichnomoto3013]

I would pick the Jordan 3 J.Balvin Rio, the gradient colors is 🔥

[@Nostalgiahit7]

Thanks for listening! Asked for this video whenever the sole shield video came out for these!

[@ethanpech9914]

I didn't like the Jordan 4 before but every time I see them I like them a little bit more, and I definitely want ones now 😤✋🏻 Thank you for the video btw good to have real informstion on how to actually clean suede.

[@jos.309]

both options are dope, but sum bout those 4s side by side 🔥 those for tha win !

[@joshvalezques741]

I’d probably pick the rio 3s I tried to get the white pair but didn’t end up getting them and then I tried to hit on the black ones but still didn’t I would like to add these to my collection and I wouldn’t chose the other fours bc I already have the Breda and the military’s

[@anthonywibbels9046]

I’d go with the military 4s. Never owned a single pair other then my 1s I got at footlocker like 10 years ago since then I haven’t been able to buy due to resellers market
