I use that exact product on anything leather/suede. The tip is to keep it at a good distance upon application. Any sealant or protective agent sprayed too close will yield blemishes as it should be applied evenly & lightly. If you see a stain or permanent discoloration, you sprayed too much...
hey welcome, I personally do not put anything on any of my pairs. I do clean the midsoles with jason markk and have tried jason markk on suede (terrible idea). I would refrain from spraying that stuff on the tassies as I heard the purple might bleed into the white if it gets wet (haven't seen it myself). If you want to try it, go for an unsuspicious area to test it out. Overall, the tassie is a tricky pair to try it on, I say don't put anything but be careful on where you tread
Thanks for the quick responses, fellas. I always make sure to spray at least a foot away and to do light and even coatings, to prevent over-saturating. I think I should be fine, as far as the bleeding goes, as long as I make sure not to over-saturate. I'm just more paranoid than usual, considering these were a lil' more expensive than the usual pair.
Do u guys know if these water/stain repellent sprays prevent bleeding? If not, is there any products out there that do? As mentioned in my previous post, I have little to no experience with materials like this, that are so deeply dyed. I did have a pair of Saucony x Bodega Elite G9 "Camo" that got a tiny drop of water on the yellow portion of the heel. When I tried drying it by gently dabbing the wet spot, the yellow started bleeding into the green suede below it, which left a small area of mixed colors. Also, with the other pair from that pack (the Shadow 6s), I noticed that the suede had started bleeding from one pair to another, simply from touching when in the box together with no paper in between them, while not much, enough to where it was noticeable. After that, I told myself I would try to avoid kicks that had dyed suede like that, but I don't think the Tassie's are on that level of dyed-ness (I know, not a word); still, there is definitely high risk of these bleeding, so I want to take preventive measures if at all possible.
As far as the shoes go, I couldn't have been happier with them. Definitely one of the dopest pairs of New Balances all-time, in my opinion. I'm not nearly as much an NB head as I used to be in my younger days, but I still have love for the brand that will never die. After taking a long hiatus from copping kicks, I fell out of the loop with the new releases, so I've been playing catch-up since about a year and a half ago. There's been a lot of sick NB releases (in particular, the Concepts collabs), but for some reason, these just really stood out to me more than the rest. When they started hitting the reseller market after release day, I thought that I'd never get to own a pair, but after lucking out on the Miami Beach RFs and flipping 'em, I knew that I had to try to score these, and thankfully I found a seller (2 actually) willing to take $320 shipped. Now, I've knocked one of the recent additions to my "grail" list, which is always a beautiful thing. That's my story for the day, lol, thanks for letting me share. And thanks for the quick replies. Any info on a possible product to prevent bleeding would be greatly appreciated. Peace.
