FAQs

What is the primary material used in the Yeezy 500 High Slate?

The primary materials are neoprene for the upper, providing a sleek, sock-like fit, and suede for durable overlays.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer comfort and support from the Adiprene midsole and high-top design, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion sneakers rather than high-performance athletic shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and specialized suede cleaners for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the original release date and retail price?

These sneakers were released in December 2019 and originally retailed for $200.

Is the sizing true to size?

It is generally recommended to consult size guides and consider that the snug fit of the neoprene may lead some to consider sizing up if they prefer more room.

Do they offer good ankle support?

Yes, the high-top silhouette is specifically designed to offer enhanced ankle support compared to low-top footwear.

Are there other colorways available for the Yeezy 500 High?

While the Slate is a distinct colorway, the Yeezy 500 High model has seen other variations and colorways released.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner as per product directions.

Neoprene feels stiff or loses shape

Wipe the neoprene with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade the material.

Gum sole is discolored

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Stubborn marks might be removable with a magic eraser, used gently.

Fit feels too snug initially

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the neoprene and suede to adapt to your foot shape. Avoid forcing them on.
