FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive basketball?
While designed with basketball in mind, their knit construction prioritizes comfort and flexibility. For highly competitive or aggressive basketball play where maximum ankle support and durability are crucial, more traditional performance basketball shoes might be a better fit. They are excellent for light court activities and casual wear.
How do I clean the 'Slate Azure' knit material?
Gently spot clean with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner for knit fabrics. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The primary material of the upper is a comfortable and breathable knit construction, offering a unique fit and aesthetic.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas Yeezy footwear tends to run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend consulting adidas's official size guide if you are unsure or trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The knit material is not inherently waterproof. While light moisture is generally fine, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What makes the 'Slate Azure' colorway special?
The 'Slate Azure' colorway is a distinctive and eye-catching shade of blue, designed to make a bold fashion statement. It's a unique hue that stands out in the Yeezy collection.
Troubleshooting
Knit material appears stretched or misshapen after wear.
This can happen with knit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. When not in use, consider using shoe trees or stuffing the shoes lightly with paper to help them retain their original shape.
Shoes feel less supportive during athletic movements.
The knit design prioritizes comfort and flexibility. For more rigorous or competitive basketball activities requiring maximum ankle support, traditional leather or synthetic high-top basketball shoes might be more suitable. For these, focus on lighter athletic endeavors.
Stains on the 'Slate Azure' knit are difficult to remove.
Act quickly on stains. Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution for knit materials and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the knit. For tough stains, professional sneaker cleaning may be necessary.
Shoes feel too warm or lack ventilation.
While knit generally offers breathability, some conditions or extended wear might lead to warmth. Ensure you wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If consistently an issue, consider rotating with other footwear options.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Yeezy Basketball Knit sneakers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains on the knit upper, use a soft brush or a clean cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently rub the affected area.

- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage the knit material and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the knit.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as it can cause damage to the material and structure.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for knit and textile footwear to pre-treat and protect the shoes.
