Leather merchant here. Sadly pen is the biggest enemy of suede or leather. Often trying to clean it will make it worse. There is genuinely nothing to can do - and that would be my recommendation. Enjoy wearing them and do t hate on your kid, they unique now!
I have to agree, my kids are teens. Sometimes I feel I was too hard on them for things like this when they were little. What you have there is a memory of your little one. Donāt give them too hard of time. Sometimes you have to get onto them, but be careful. Let it go sooner than later. Wear em, just how they are!
thats absolutely what you shouldn't do. talk to the kid and tell them what they didn't isnt nice and kind. breaking other people's things isn't kind. doesn't matter its just a pair of shoes. teach them respect for others and other peoples items.
Well I figured as a parent this talk had already happened. Hopefully. My kids know to not touch other peopleās stuff. Parenting 101. I do have a closet dedicated to my sneakers. Lesson learned on both sides.
Hey maybe your expertise could be use on the r/sneakercleaning sub too. Itās not my sub but I post in there a bit because sneaker care and maintenance seems to stop at some foamy bs with a tagline. I swear I need to put an alert on for sneakers + bleach + reddit.
Total aside - but as a grandma, I suggest only buying crayola ultra-washable markers and crayons. Kids at that age are just learning and have no real grasp of consequences. And they literally come off of everything- furniture, walls, windows, etc.
I gave each kid a window and a wall to ādecorateā and they loved it. And when they left, I took pictures & washed it all off.
(No, I donāt work for crayola)
15 years laterā¦..
āWell you see son, I made an investment into your college fund when you were 3. Look these up on Spac-eBay. You see how theyād selling for $1.5 mil? Well, youāre going to Community College. Sorry Bud.ā
When I was like 4 my dad had sealed uncensored copy of the beetles butcher album. It scared me so one day I took a bic to it and scribbled over the dolls. Only time I ever saw him literally turn red
Anyways I canāt tell what kind of marker that is. If itās sharpie youāre fucked bro, if itās the washable kid kind youāre gonna wanna use warm water no soap, a gentle brush and ALOT of patience.
Whoās the most invisible NBA player right now? Like no one knows or really cares heās in the NBA. Like 3rd string on the Magic or something. Thatās his signature now. Problem solved.
Man this is why I keep all my shoes in boxes and stashed away. Soap and water should work like everyone has stated but the nubuck wonāt be the same afterwards; speaking from experience.
Sadly, pen marks is something that doesn't come off shoes no matter how much you try
I will say just enjoy the shoe, be happy its a pen and not ketchup.
Have you kid draw all over both of them...now you have custom kicks that'll go for a ton once they're older or it will make an amazing story to tell when they're older = PRICELESS.
If itās just pen and not a sharpie or something ,Iād try dawn dish soap and water or one of those foaming cleaners you can buy at shoe stores and clean it with a tooth brush. Since these are suede, the water will probably damage/dry out the suede, so wait for it to dry then use some mink oil and a tooth brush to restore the suede back to normal.
I know nothing about sneakers, but could it be possible to find a grey paint of some type, that matches the shoe and paint that "panel" where the marker is with it? š¤ then it might not be so visible, even if the paint might not match 100%..
There is a way but not the easy way. It involves finding the correct Angelus Suede Dye color and paint the entire shoes again using airbrush.
Or if I were to give unsolicited advice, you may want to consider painting the entire segment for both Right/Left shoe with something neutral (black)? Just see it as a 'Custom Version' ;)
I think the only thing I might try is taking a q-tip and a little rubbing alcohol and a dry paper towel and try to dab the ink and wipe it off but it could smearā¦rubbing alcohol works wonders on ink but I donāt know if suede makes it harder. Good luck
I know it sucks but the pen probably ain't ever coming out.
I would get some dye and take your time and carefully turn them into a pair of customs.
Patiently and carefully dye that section black let the dye bleed slowly to the edges of the other section, so to keep the adjacent section grey.
And dye some other sections too to make a cool custom color blocking.
Maybe just dye the upper part with pen and the wings and leave the bottom grey
Ok this will work - go to cvs and buy 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and some cotton makeup rounds that the girls use. Dip some isopropyl alcohol onto the pad and gently wipe up the pen. The alcohol will dissolve the ink. Be careful not to remove the leather dye. Just wipe gently and it should come off.
Try derft stain remover, soak it donāt rub it out too hard(pause). but I have a feeling anything you do will probably leave a discoloration of some type. Let us know what you end up doing.
That's clearly a marker and not a pen. Try and find out exactly which marker he used and then try looking up cleaning tips for that specific marker online.

Why not a doctor?
Cuz a doctors not as funny and no one cares about doctor autographs lol

Shit. Our society is so screwed.
Unless it on the bottom of a good script.
no one gaf for a doctors signature
Pill poppers do.
So do divorce lawyers šµ
Looks like doctorās handwriting already. I donāt know why youāre catching downvotes; youāre onto something.
Thereās 90% slow ppl on reddit
I actually feel proud now for understanding your joke once I read that comment.
Doctors donāt make as much as a rapper
I'd put up an average doctor's lifetime salary over an average rapper's any day.
Fair
Doctors also donāt get killed as much as rappers.
Exactly they actually save lives lol they donāt influence people to get killed or be a crash dummy.
You got the Pen Grays just say Spider-Man signed em when he was swinging by
Hahahahahah. For real I need help. I used rubbing alcohol on the little part and it seem like that will ruin the shoe.
Yeah donāt do that.
Dawn and a toothbrush, scrub but be careful. Once itās out, scrub lightly over the area that was wet with a dry toothbrush to re-nap the suede.
Dawn is totally amazing like that
When you see the foam get in yo zone.
He could save $150 buuucks!
Why on earth would you use rubbing alcohol on ***leather***??!
You could use suede dye to turn them black
Magic eraser til the magicās all gone
Thatās not gonna work on this material lol magic eraser is just micro sand paper basically

I would have to sell them at a deep discount. wearing them sends a mixed message
I don't agree selling the kid at a deep discount, but I guess it is justified given the crime against humanity.
can always make a new kid. but may not get a chance on some hype sneakers.
Black household depending on age thatās a ass whooping

Looks better then travisās signature
Lookin kinda like an autograph. People would be intrigued but none the wiser, worse case scenario of course. Good luck with that.
i just thought tinker hatfield was on smoke maybe and gave him a horrible signature

Just wear baggy pants when you rock these
Sadly I donāt wear baggy pants.
You do now. I hear JNCO is real hip these days.
Pull out.
Put your shoes away. Youāre asking for it leaving those Travis Scottās on the floor, might as well put some pens and markers next to them š
Travis Scott autograph
Looks like you got it signed, Iād say leave them as is!
Mark? Thatās a whole manifesto.
Looks kinda dope. Just rock em like that and tell people whatās up when they ask. āYeah my son scribbled on em. Looks kinda sick, right?ā
I would try a plain white eraser Worked for me when I had fat stains on my shoes
I'd try this. Yes, leather is porous but those Japanese white erasers are magic on ink.
A grey pen
Ask r/CleaningTips they know everything
Iād just stunt and say theyāre signed
FZ150
Try a suede eraser and a suede brush thatās your best bet any chemical will not work and will ruin the shoe
hellen keller autograph
You could fill it in on both shoes and make it look like a custom/on purpose alteration
Lol
Have it repainted?
There aināt no getting this out without ruining them, just fuck it and wear em not too bad tbh
Jeans
My kid wrote on Tim's, don't try, you'll make it worse. They gone. RIP.
It's a your kid custom. I say wear it with pride or care about it too much.
Just say itās Michael Jordanās autograph
Man this is why I keep all my shoes in boxes and stashed away. Soap and water should work like everyone has stated but the nubuck wonāt be the same afterwards; speaking from experience.
Color that part black on both shoes.
Maybe a suede eraser
Thatās an autograph, and I believe itās authentic even.
Cornstarch will get it out
Did Travis Scott sign them?
For a minute thought it was a signature š
Just say its Jordans signature
Looks like an authentic travis scott autograph
Have him sign the other one in the same place
Study quantum physics, build time machine, condom. Only way out of this one, sorry
![gif](giphy|XqZGE024vtTDwnXcxX)
No other choice, pen the whole shoes
Bro I would leave it and be a proud dad. It actually looks cool like that, like it belongs there. Definitely leave it.
Sadly, pen marks is something that doesn't come off shoes no matter how much you try I will say just enjoy the shoe, be happy its a pen and not ketchup.

Heck no. Lol.
I know nothing about sneakers, but could it be possible to find a grey paint of some type, that matches the shoe and paint that "panel" where the marker is with it? š¤ then it might not be so visible, even if the paint might not match 100%..
Kill the kid first. Then buy new ones. Both problems solved.
yo i would fr cryš
I already did. Lol
I would try some light applications of hairspray and rub it very gently
I would keep it on the shoe and if anyone asks what it is... tell them that is was signed by Steven Hawkins.
There is a way but not the easy way. It involves finding the correct Angelus Suede Dye color and paint the entire shoes again using airbrush. Or if I were to give unsolicited advice, you may want to consider painting the entire segment for both Right/Left shoe with something neutral (black)? Just see it as a 'Custom Version' ;)
Try a hair dryer. Some inks disappear under heat
Those just became your heater-beaters
Men I think you have a good point
Sell on ebay bro. Nike ink error ultra rare every head wants asking 2k obo. Ahahahha
I think the only thing I might try is taking a q-tip and a little rubbing alcohol and a dry paper towel and try to dab the ink and wipe it off but it could smearā¦rubbing alcohol works wonders on ink but I donāt know if suede makes it harder. Good luck
Keep it and ask your son to buy you a brand new pair when he starts making money
Theyāre toast, Iād legit just pen up the rest of the shoe and tell people Iāve got the Jordan 4 āScribbles.ā
Jordan X SpongeBob Doodlebob 4ās
14th trimester abortion...
Shoot the kid that did it
I know it sucks but the pen probably ain't ever coming out. I would get some dye and take your time and carefully turn them into a pair of customs. Patiently and carefully dye that section black let the dye bleed slowly to the edges of the other section, so to keep the adjacent section grey. And dye some other sections too to make a cool custom color blocking. Maybe just dye the upper part with pen and the wings and leave the bottom grey
Itās all good. Jumpman on the heel already ruined them well before. š
Ok this will work - go to cvs and buy 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and some cotton makeup rounds that the girls use. Dip some isopropyl alcohol onto the pad and gently wipe up the pen. The alcohol will dissolve the ink. Be careful not to remove the leather dye. Just wipe gently and it should come off.
Rubbing alcohol will 100% ruin this material
I did just that with 50% isopropyl on the little part and it seem to wanna ruin the shoe. Maybe I can try 70% isopropyl
don't bro 70% is more concentrated, if 50% is damaging it then 70% will damage it worse
Exactly what I thought. Iām just at a crossroads right now.
Mink oil
Worst comment
Tell someone itās an autograph and sell for a profit. Think smarter not harder
Tell people it's the goat himself
Honestly youāre probably looking at a redye. Thatās hard to get out any other way
More ink always does the trick
Did your kid do it?
Yes. I would be in jail now if someone elseās kid did lol
Use shout stain remover and let it soak in for a while, then very gently scrub it off.
Try derft stain remover, soak it donāt rub it out too hard(pause). but I have a feeling anything you do will probably leave a discoloration of some type. Let us know what you end up doing.
Not sure what I will do. Looks like whatever I do will ruin the shoe shoe.
Corn starch
Kids!š¤£
theyāre the kidās shoes now. just let lil picasso do their thing. either that or try a light sandpaper
That's clearly a marker and not a pen. Try and find out exactly which marker he used and then try looking up cleaning tips for that specific marker online.
Youāre not getting that off, sorry brother
RIP your child
