the dye is bleeding from your jeans into the materials on your sneaks. like you said it's a stain, not much going to get that out.

I've had decent luck removing it from other shoes that are leather or nubuck, but for whatever reason it was not budging on those. Guess it's not necessarily a knock on that particular brand, but wanted to make sure he was aware of my experience with it.

the dye doesn't penetrate some materials, but suede almost always. most stains on leathers can be wiped off or cleaned easily. the nubucks may be pretreated (like Timbs) and that helps protect from deep staining too.
as for the erasers, I don't think there's really much difference between brands. same concept as your pencil eraser in grade school. The real difference between the kits is the brush. premium soft brushes are best for those plush materials on your most cherished. some of those cheap kits come with plastic-bristled brushes. my 2 cents, nice brushes can be had sans eraser for the low online anyway.

You're so right. The Kiwi brush is pathetic. Sorry for taking this thread so off topic, fellas.

haven't used those other. My buddy used the Jason markk stuff and liked liquid proof better.

Considering we are still seeing them pop up in FSR's here and there, I wouldn't pay much more than retail at this point.

Yea, that site is legit. I think $200 for the Gemini is a fair price. That's pretty close to retail.

Managed to find some flat waxed orange laces. Color is almost exact
I like them more than the ropes. Still need to actually wear this damn shoe

There's a reason for the stuff bristled brush if you use the kit correctly. It's to re-nap the suede after using the eraser thoroughly. Many people don't realize this
Don't be afraid to really go at it with the eraser, especially on denim stains. You aren't actually losing fibers of the suede, just pushing it down and smoothing it out.
The stuff bristled brush will bring the texture of the suede back to life. A softer brush like a horsehair brush will not re-nap the suede after it's matted down heavily.

Fire! I put in some black wax laces but the orange ones really balance the whole shoe! props

Exactly. A stiff brush makes suede extra buttery. I use it all the time on my collabs to keep the suede good as new. If you go hard with the brush on some of the general release shoes with suede you can actually improve the suede.

200 is a decent price but you could probably do better in a ebay auction. Great shoe!!! I absolutely love my geminis. The materials are top notch and they can be worn with almost anything.
