FAQs

When was the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' released?

The adidas Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' was launched in July 2018.

What materials are used in the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black'?

The upper is a combination of mesh and suede, with a rubber sole.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft suede brush for regular cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, always testing first.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable for walking, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-impact athletic activities.

Does the 'Utility Black' colorway fade over time?

Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper storage will help maintain the color.

What does 'Utility Black' mean in this context?

It refers to a specific shade of black that is semi-faded, offering a more muted and nuanced tone compared to a standard pitch-black.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry completely.

Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and the unique lacing system. Try loosening all laces before re-tightening evenly.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The shoe may require a break-in period. Check that the lacing is adjusted for optimal comfort and support.

Color transfer onto socks or lighter clothing

This is uncommon but can occur with new or damp footwear. Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before wearing. If persistent, consider using a fabric protector spray on the interior, following product instructions.
