FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made from black and grey monofilament engineered mesh, providing breathability and a comfortable fit, with RPU (Reinforced Polyurethane) overlays for added structure.
Do the RPU cage elements really glow in the dark?
Yes, the RPU cage features elements that glow in the dark after being exposed to light. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the amount of light exposure.
What is the cushioning like in the Yeezy 700 V3 Alvah?
The shoe features an EVA midsole, which offers lightweight and responsive cushioning, making it comfortable for everyday wear.
How should I clean the reflective detailing?
Clean reflective areas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaners that could damage the reflective coating.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber with a herringbone pattern, designed to provide reliable traction and grip on various surfaces.
What is the difference between this 'Alvah' model and other Yeezy 700 models?
The Yeezy 700 V3 'Alvah' distinguishes itself with its sock-like construction, lack of traditional heel counter, and the prominent RPU cage that wraps around the upper, differing from the Boost-equipped earlier 700 models.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and general activity, the Yeezy 700 V3 Alvah is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker and is not optimized for performance running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size or full-size up, especially if you have wider feet. Allow a break-in period as materials may stretch slightly.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Consider using a different lacing technique or double-knotting them.
RPU cage has scuffs or marks
Gently clean the RPU cage with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced glow-in-the-dark effect
Expose the RPU cage to direct light (sunlight or strong artificial light) for a period to 'charge' the glow-in-the-dark material. The effect is most noticeable in complete darkness after charging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers, this shoe is generally compatible with most casual outfits. Sizing is provided in UK men's foot sizes. It is recommended to check size charts for accurate fitting, as Yeezy models can sometimes fit snugly.
Care:
- Upper Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh and RPU overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the rubber outsole, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
