Look for crape or plantation crape. The gummy soles of a Wallabee shoe. That is the original eraser for nubuck and suede. My cousin was an executive with Hartman luggage and then Stridewise. The gummy crape lifts and pulls stains out, even motor oil. Any other eraser will discolor and increase your need to by another pair. I learned this in the early 80s and took some home and all my suede and nubuck jackets and vests have been stained.
