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

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.

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

Brilliant product. Easy to use (provided you're careful with where you work, as it can drip!). A deep black colour that revives the faded areas of black suede. I've not tried it on anything other than suede. I dab this on rather than wiping and have had no issues with the sponge like others have mentioned. I've revived many pairs of shoes and boots and still lots of product left. Definitely will repurchase this if I need more!

I wish it was a bit more black, I have to reapply quite often for that fresh look on my trainers. and the lid, omg it is impossible to open it. thats what happened to me while wrestling with the bottle

Fantastic . My quite expensive hiking shoes got a bit ruined by seawater and coastal wear. Had to wash them which left them looking faded. This revive die has made them new looking again. Great product and amazing value.

I was pleasantly surprised what a good job this did. My favourite pair of black suede boots had faded and I didn’t want to get rid of them. This product has revived them. Really pleased!

did a pretty good job on two pairs of scuffed up shoes

Works good, and give a new like again

Ha ridato vita a delle scarpe ormai troppo schiarite

Value for money product

Good for black suede and nubuck shoes.
