Sneaky Suede Revive - Premium Suede and Nubuck Revival Stick

Overall I’ve found this product amazing. Arrived today and already revived a pair of very old suede DMs and some black New Balance. Firstly, it is much easier to use on a wholly black shoe like the DMs, my New Balance have a white rubber midsole and white N on the side and I inevitably got some product on those areas as I wasn’t cautious enough. HOWEVER, the coverage is amazing and the colour is spectacular. Tip #1 - have a suede & nubuck kit to one side (one of those that has the eraser and spongey brush). I managed to completely remove all the black I got on the white midsole using the eraser. Tip #2 - the instructions say to brush the suede - this is a VERY important step but the product doesn’t come with a brush so make sure you either have on to hand (you can use the brush mentioned in tip 1). Tip #3 - wear gloves and be aware of WHERE you do this. I didn’t wear gloves so going over the lace holes I inevitably got a lot on my hands. It does wash off skin easy enough but was a bit more tough to get out from under the nails etc. I also got a tiny drip on my carpet before I’d moved to the bathroom so consider that too. Tip #4 - it dries very quickly and once does it doesn’t transfer at all, so once it’s dry definitely get going quite quickly with the brush or a second coat to get the best effect. Tip #5 - get yourself a waterproofing spray for after it dries to product your new finish !! Tip #7 - some reviews say the “sponge breaks easily”. There are very easy fixes to this, the sponge screws off like any other bottle. This means it’s very easy to replace the sponge with that from another bottle if you’ve bought multiple. However, ive had no issues with my sponge. Tip #7 pt 2 - when you take off the sponge it’s very easy to access the dye. For those tight spaces and harder to reach areas (due to multiple colours next to each other or a coloured midsole) you could dip a brush in and apply it like paint. This occurred to me AFTER I got the dye in my midsole

Works so well this has restored my trainers so they look brand new! Highly recommended, ild recommend doing a few passes on the suade with this to get the best effect, you can even let it dry and then do a few more to get an even darker dye.

I like that it's quite deep black but dropping a star as you have to dab piece by piece all over boots which takes time. It feels that if you try to rub the sponge against suede it will quickly fall apart.But all in all boots look like new.its still wet on photos.once it dries I'll brush it with soft brush and it will be perfect.Recommended.

Brilliant for black new balance trainers that went grey - worked really well

good but the foam to apply falls off

It worked wonders on hubby's Nike Dunks. He wanted to buy a new pair due to the blacks fading but it always takes him ages to fall in love with a new pair. So in the meanwhile I've bought this to give it a try on the old pair. The results were immediate and great, it refreshed and revived the black suede panels giving it a vibrant, like new finish. It's very easy to apply and covers well without being patchy. I'm 100% happy with this product and would buy it in the future.

I cleaned a pair of (7?) year old Air Pegasus 89 before treating with this Suede Reviver The results are remarkable - I didn’t think they would bring them back up like new. I don’t know if the triple black AP89 has any natural fibre in but it has restored the ‘nubuck’ parts. Excellent value for money, very easy to use - I spread using the built-in sponge and then mopped up any excess with another sponge. Don’t use it on anything that’s not black though.

Tried this and seems to work although the sponge falls apart quite quickly... Shoes are looking better tho!

Works good, and give a new like again
