How to Revive Your Suede Sneakers

With warmer weather looming and those chilly drafts that have left your sneakers soleless soon to be a distant memory, we think it's the perfect time for you to get your sneaker spring rotation in check.

How to Revive Your Suede Sneakers


And what we mean by a spring rotation is your standard pair of Air Force 1s; simple, effective and probably in need of a revival. Now if you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a new pair, we got you covered, as we show you how to get your suede Air Force 1’s fresh with our Suede Reviver, so they’ll be spring-ready in no time. 


Step 1: Grab the Suede Reviver

Our 3-in-1 spray and brush combo is perfect for restoring and brightening the appearance of your suede and nubuck sneakers. Before applying the solution to your sneakers, we recommend lightly working your suede Air Force 1’s with the dual-textured brush.

Top tip: Use the harder rubber bristles for thicker suede textures and the softer rubber bristles for finer suede textures 

 

Step 2: Apply Generously to your Suede Sneakers 


Once you’ve gently brushed your sneakers, spray a generous amount of the Suede Reviver on your sneakers, ensuring you are covering all the affected areas.

Step 3: Let ‘em Dry

Once the material is saturated, let the sneaker rest for 1 minute. 



Top Tip: We recommend not leaving the solution to sit on the sneakers for no longer than 5 minutes, as this will cause the formula to fully dry, making the re-napping process harder to tackle. 


Step 4: Brush the Suede

Now that your suede has been treated, it's time to reset the nap. Choose from the two textured brush types to gently work your suede in circular and continuous motions until the desired results are achieved.
