Best way to clean Gazelles?

Car drove past me earlier, splashed muddy water on my Gazelles! :(

Whats the best way to clean them without completely ruining the colour (they're the blue suede ones with yellow stripes).

Use an old wet tootbrush and gently scrub out the mud.

Then, use a dry cloth to absorb the excess water from the shoe.

Wet wipes are pretty good, Also buying a suede brush would help the one with a wire brush on one side and rubber on the other

forgot to say get some suede spray and give them a spray before you go out to help protect them

once gazelles get dirty you can never get them to look spotless again
been wearing them since the 80's they are buggers to clean
