Suede and nubuck materials can be tough to clean and mixed with a vibrant color it can be even harder! You risk room for color bleed, color fade, watermarking and permanent damage to the sneaker. Luckily we have everything that you need, in today's Shoe Care Academy episode we give you a full cleaning guide for all your suede Nike Dunks! These Green Apple SB Dunks were requested in the comments after we took on the Orange Lobsters a few videos back, so we had to clean them up for you guys.

We picked up these bright and vibrant kicks used from eBay for a deal and after they arrived at the headquarters we rocked them a little bit more to get them really dirty! We weren't too sure about how these would clean up when we first sat down to take care of them, but we had to put the product to the test.

For this cleaning we used the Essential Cleaning Kit. The Essential Cleaning Kit is highly beneficial for suede or nubuck sneakers that need a deeper cleaning, but it is also the perfect kit to give your sneakers a quick and effective clean. We also paired the product with a couple different things from our product line up to create the perfect cleaning station.

Now there was a few things that could go wrong with this sneaker, so it was really important to clean the sneaker evenly and take our time during the cleaning. The color bleeding was a huge possibility during this cleaning. One pro tip that we used was cleaning the sneaker one panel at a time and patting the sneaker dry as you go to avoid oversaturating the material.

We used the 3 different brushes to clean up these SB Dunks and then allowed the sneaker to dry in the Arizona Sun. When you are cleaning suede or nubuck materials it is crucial that you place the sneaker outside or in front of a fan to dry. These materials needs to dry evenly to look their best or there could be watermarking, discoloring and additional issues.

Since we got the suede wet, we had to reset the nap on these materials to ensure that it came back to the buttery texture. We see a ton of comments about getting suede wet, but you can 100% get suede wet as long as you are careful!

For the last step we used Mink Oil to bring back the color of the suede and condition the materials. Mink Oil helps not only recondition the suede, but the leather as well!

Let us know in the comments what you want to see us clean and we might just make your dream a reality!
