leather dye? I'm trying to get these seats back to black

I just picked up some gsr seats for change :-) , but the edge of the seat has alot of cracks in the leather and needs to be dyed. Anyone done this before? Any types or brands to use?

good idea, I used some leather coniditioner and some black shoe polish and they are back to black. The shoe polish did a great job of turning those white cracks to black!
