Can all Nubuck achieve water-proof function?
It depends. Since in order to achieve water proof function, it should be done during process of dying. Normally we will do slight pigment on the final dyed color. But if with pigment, the waterproof function on the surface will be affected. As it is hard to control color variation, especially on bright colors, most tannery technicians can do 2-3 colors for water proof which is most familiar for him to handle.
