What are some good things to clean suede with? I think JM works well with leather, nubuck, durabuck and most other materials but seeing what it does to suede definitely scares me if I were to use it on that material

You want to get one of these kits, it's available from pretty much any shoe care aisle in a supermarket, drugstore, or shoe store that's not a boutique or mall sneaker store. What you do is rub the block on the dirty part and the block will rub off bits and absorb the dirt, then you take the brush and brush off the residue from the block.
It's basically a big eraser and brush, which is why people have suggested using an eraser.

I work for eBay out here in Utah. Transferred from the PayPal side (Arizona). To hopefully put the fees in perspective, I'll first say I don't like em at all but you've got to pay to play. While PayPal is an eBay company, you've got to realize the many different businesses that use PayPal. PayPal is a pmt processor. Plain and simple. Visa and MC charge fees to businesses that use them too. The fees are high, but PP and eBay provide a backup insurance policy for you (buyer and seller proptection) and is safer than going thru Craigslist. Consider the fees for your safety lol.
Going back to the sneakers though, I can't wait for the UNC to arrive as I really am feeling that CW.

Outside of a couple of past era releases, SB as a whole has NEVER been worth trying to resell. I've tried to explain this to many resellers I've seen outside some of my locals and they don't get it. IMO, this brand only matters to a certain crowd. It pretty much has NO appeal outside of that crowd. I watch them show up release after release, and buy then struggle to resell. Losing money left and right. I mean YOUNG KIDS, losing $10-20 off everything they buy. They just don't learn.

Well the SOMP's are nubuck and this really jacked them up. I think the answer is DO NOT USE A BRUSH. Maybe a moist microfiber towel and rub lightly at the stain/dirt. Mine were spattered with stuff, so I'm not sure if that would have worked for me either. I honestly think the SOMP's nap comes off waaayyyy too easily...

I saw a thread yesterday on NSB titled "How to know if a shoe will get hyped?" ...I won't copy/paste his whole original post but pretty much sums up new people who have no clue trying to flip SB's.
LMAO!!!!

I never used JM products or any other shoe cleaner only Lincoln EZ cleaner... 60 yr old cobbler put me on to this product 10yrs ago and I never looked back.
Yeah it was weird. Even after about 16hrs dry time the panel still looked "dirty" (wet?) and felt very rough. Obvious color difference than the rest of the shoe. More purple with white nap.
I def. want to double up on these so Im still holding out on a SOMP trade. But I really want that supple suede feel to come back and look a little more pink.
Just bummed though. Literally just picked these up 2 days ago. Havent had a chance to wear em

I normally use water/stain sealant after cleaning... you can get at any shoe shoe, target, walmart etc
Entire process is no more than 1.5hrs

I actually have a key chain bottle opener that I got from Politics for free when I was honest and pointed out that they rung me up for a shoe that was $20 cheaper.

And I thought people had known not to smother and/or drench their sneakers in cleaning solutions...
