FAQs
What material are the adidas Yeezy 500 High Slate trainers made of?
They are crafted from a combination of Slate neoprene and suede.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and urban environments. While they offer good comfort and traction, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede and neoprene trainers in wet weather due to the materials' sensitivity to moisture, which can cause damage and staining.
What is the main difference between the High Slate and other Yeezy 500 models?
The High Slate features a high-top silhouette, similar to the Yeezy 750, and replaces traditional mesh with neoprene for a sleeker look, unlike lower-profile Yeezy 500 models.
What was the original retail price of these trainers?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a few days. The neoprene may stretch slightly with wear.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid water.
Laces are difficult to tighten evenly
Loosen all laces before putting the shoe on, then tighten them gradually from the bottom up to ensure an even, secure fit.
Slight odor after wear
Remove insoles if possible and air the shoes out in a well-ventilated area. Using cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and odors.
