Nike Janoski

Hey I'm new to this forum but I was wondering how do you clean suede Janoski like this one. I would really like to clean and restore this pair of shoe. I can't really get the stain off the toe box.

Ps: my suedes are now rough and dirtyView media item 2223524

I will be very grateful if someone help me reviving this shoe. I really like it. This is what it used to look like.View media item 2232971

Bruh you can't restore those. Cleaning them with some suede cleaner may help them a little but it's not going to look anything like new.

I remember when these 420s came out. I was about to buy a pair to add to my janoski collection but decided against it because I know how OCD I am and light colored suede is extremely hard to keep looking fresh.

You should have bought 2 pairs, one to wear causally without fear of messing up and a 2nd pair to wear places you know you won't mess them up at.

I did try Jason mark and Crepprotect but none of them seems to work. So there's no way that I can do to make them at least look clean? And the suede are like rock hard too. The toe box is the hardest stain to remove I can't seem to remove those dark spots. Thank you for all the informations.

Try a regular suede bar and brush like: Amazon product ASIN B0002TVB70I don't have this exact one, but I do have one very similar I bought at a sneaker store a few years ago. I don't really get my sneakers dirty, especially not my suede joints because I'm extremely careful but I once parked where when exiting my car I had to walk in dirt and grass, staining my blue suede shoes. The suede bar and brush got my shoes looking new within minutes but I cleaned my shoes like an hour after getting them dirty, making them easier to clean.

The only other thing I can think of is something I would never recommend but your shoes are pretty beat anyway. Get some powdered oxyclean or laundry detergent and dilute in water. Test a drop or two on a unnoticeable part of your shoe and shrub with a brush and let dry. If that removed some dirt, then do that to your entire shoe.
