Description
Gabor Nubuck and Textile Colour Reviver – Black (047) – 75ml – black suede and nubuck that looks black again
Black suede has a habit of turning a slightly dusty charcoal. It happens gradually – a bit of rain, a bit of sun through the window, a few hundred journeys in and out of a bag – and one day you notice the shoes look grey rather than black.
This little bottle puts that right. As a black nubuck colour reviver it cleans and recolours in a single pass: it lifts dirt out of the nap while depositing black pigment, so faded areas and pale wear lines even out with the rest of the shoe.
The sponge applicator sits on top of the 75ml bottle. You press it against the material and the liquid comes through evenly, which lets you treat just the toe cap or just the scuffed heel instead of doing the whole shoe.
It works on textile as well as brushed leather, so it is equally useful on canvas trainers, fabric boots and the mixed suede-and-mesh uppers that so many shoes use now.
Why choose the Gabor Nubuck and Textile Colour Reviver Black?
- Cleans and recolours in one go. The formula lifts dirt out of the nap at the same time as it deposits pigment, so you are not doing two separate jobs.
- Evens out faded patches. Pale wear lines across the flex point and rubbed toe caps blend back into the surrounding black.
- Sponge applicator for precision. Press it exactly where the damage is. No overspray, no drips, and no treating areas that did not need it.
- Suede, nubuck and textile. One bottle for brushed leather boots, suede trainers, canvas shoes and fabric bags.
- Keeps the nap soft. It refreshes the colour without gluing the fibres flat, so the shoe still looks and feels like suede afterwards.
- Handy 75ml size. Enough for many applications and small enough to keep in the shoe cupboard rather than the garage.
How to use the Gabor Nubuck and Textile Colour Reviver Black
- Brush the shoes with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust. Work a rubber suede eraser over any shiny or greasy marks.
- Shake the bottle well, then press the sponge onto a piece of card once or twice to get the liquid flowing.
- Dab and stroke the sponge over the faded areas in the direction of the nap, keeping the coverage thin and even. Do not soak the material.
- Let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature for a few hours, well away from radiators and direct sunlight.
- Once dry, brush the nap up again with a suede brush. Add a second light application if any areas are still patchy, and finish with a suede protector spray.

Frequently asked questions
Will it make my suede go stiff?
Not if you keep the application thin and brush the nap up once it has dried. Stiffness comes from soaking the material, so build the colour with two light passes rather than one heavy one.
Does it rub off onto socks or trousers?
Once it is properly dry and brushed out, no. Give it a few hours and a good brushing before you wear the shoes, and any surplus pigment comes away on the brush.
Can I use it on black canvas trainers?
Yes – textile is on the list. Canvas is thirstier than suede, so expect to use a little more and allow longer to dry.
Should I waterproof the shoes afterwards?
I would. A suede and nubuck protector spray applied once everything is dry keeps the fresh colour looking good for far longer and stops rain marking the nap again.
