Do you guys polish your "nice" leather sneakers to keep them nice or just wipe them down with water?

I dont do anything to mine. i dont polish them or clean them in anyway. but then again I have a ridiculous amount of sneakers so most of my nice ones are just kept clean naturally because I dont wear them often or I just take good care of them. If its going to be a really rainy day or invovling lots of dirt then its a really trashy looking pair of chucks or something

for suede I have a 2piece kit I got from the redwing store. One part looks like (even smells like) an eraser. The second part is a brush.

For leather I use this liquid stuff I got from footlocker. It's like an Oxy-something or whatever and I use and old toothbrush to apply it.
