★★★★★Restoration

“Rich and vibrant after a single coat.”

I needed to restore the faded yellow on my Air Jordan 4 Lightning kicks. The color looks rich and vibrant after applying a single coat of the yellow suede dye from Angelus.

“I love the color!”

Easy to apply, and I love the color! I saved some cash by buying a pair of beige suede shoes on sale and dyeing them myself.

Angelus Winetone Suede Dye is a suede dye in a rich, port-inspired wine for restoring faded suede or changing its color on sneakers, boots, and loafers. It soaks into the suede fibers instead of sitting on top like paint, so the nap stays soft.

Choose a 3 oz. bottle, pint, or quart.

How to use it

  1. Brush the nap up with the Angelus Nubuck & Suede Kit so the dye reaches the fibers.
  2. Apply the dye evenly with a wool dauber.
  3. Let it dry completely, then add another coat if you want it deeper.
  4. Brush the nap up again to restore the texture.

Before you dye

Because the dye soaks in, the final color depends on the suede underneath. For example, red dye on white suede turns pink, not true red. Dye works best going the same color or darker, so test on a hidden spot first.

What customers say

“Really lovely color, goes on nice and easy to use. My old shoes will have a whole new life now.”

Common questions

Can I use Winetone Suede Dye on nubuck?

Yes. It works on suede and nubuck, so brush the nap before and after dyeing.

Can I mix suede dye colors?

Yes. Angelus suede dyes mix together, so you can blend a custom shade.

Can I use suede dye on smooth leather?

For smooth leather, use Angelus Leather Dye instead.

Similar shades

Looking for a different shade? See Burgundy, Dark Red, or Purple, or shop every color in our suede dye collection.

Dyeing leather is different from painting as it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint.

The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red.

Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

DYEING SMOOTH LEATHER WITH ANGELUS LEATHER DYE

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag.

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. Wipe down with microfiber towel to remove all lint.

3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

4. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

5. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

6. Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.

7. (Optional) Wipe with a microfiber towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said microfiber and wipe down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discoloring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the color. 

8. If you wish to dye the item more of the color complete steps 5-7 again. 

9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article a black or brown we would suggest even buffing with a colored shoe polish or Lustre Cream.

DYEING SUEDE WITH ANGELUS SUEDE DYE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material. 

2. You cannot "SPOT TREAT" suede. Please make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.

3. If the suede feels hard in texture, there is too much product in the material. Use a suede brush to loosen the suede. You can also use a soft bristle brush and water to pull out the cleaner. Let it dry, then you can continue.

4. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

5. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

6. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

7. Leave to dry for a few hours.

8. Using our Suede Kit brush or a strong bristled brush, break up the suede to bring it back to its natural feel. Be careful to not let residual dye get on other parts while brushing excess off. This will help the suede feel original again as well as remove excess dye so not run in case it gets wet.

9. (Optional)We highly recommend spraying down with our Water Repellent or Mink Oil Aerosol. \

Good to know

Suede dye questions, answered

Quick answers from our counter staff.

Can I spot treat suede?

No. Clean and dye the whole surface to avoid water spots. If the suede feels hard, brush it to loosen the nap before dyeing.

Will the color look the same on my suede?

It depends on the suede underneath. Red dye on white suede turns pink, not true red. Test a hidden spot first.

Can I dye any suede black?

Black covers most suede colors well, since dye works best going darker.

Can I mix suede dye colors?

Yes. Angelus suede dyes mix together, so you can blend a custom shade. Don’t mix suede and leather dyes.

Suede dye or leather dye?

Suede dye for suede and nubuck. It has less color than leather dye and is made to keep suede soft; leather dye can make suede hard.

Does it ship outside the U.S.?

Suede dye ships within the U.S. only.

Better than I hoped

The shade was perfect. I was very apprehensive as winetone looked too purple so I ordered that as well as the dark red. Can't believe how good it looks and was very easy to apply thin coats.

First time user

This was the first time I used the suede dye and am not happy with the results. I reached out to Angelus and they were very helpful. They gave me tips on how to improve and try other methods like airbrush. I will get another bottle of suede dye and apply a final coat. Thank you Angelus😁

Wonderful product !!!!! Used on

Wonderful product !!!!! Used on suede shoes -- originally a taupe color, dye turned them a beautiful wine tone... a little more fuschia in its undertone than I had expected but resulted in a gorgeous rich & bright red-violet. Shipping seemed to get a little off track but overall very satisfied with the purchase !!!!!

Fast shipping and smooth transaction.

Fast shipping and smooth transaction. I chose to buy online to save some money and I'm definetely satisfied with this seller. The dye is of high quality and the color is beautiful, it's much more pink than I thought, but with more layers it turned out a nice purplish wine color.

Does this match the carmine 6?

Angelus Direct

Hello! No this color is a purple color. We do not have a dye close enough to the Carmine 6s. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

E
Elizabeth

I am planning to use this on some light brown suede shoes. How will that affect the final color? Will it make it more of a burgundy color?

Angelus Direct

Hello! It will mix in with the color underneath it so the Winetone would lighten a bit but if the brown is light then it shouldn't change too much If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

T
Taylor L.

I'm trying to dye some un heaven gate Nike sb dunks and was wondering if this would be the best dye suited for them?

Angelus Direct

That color is the closest color we have, but please note that dying over will give it a bit darker look because you are adding the Winetone dye to the shoes dyed suede so it will change in color a bit. If you just want to restore the color from fading use our Suede Renew If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you
