FAQs
What is PrimeKnit?
PrimeKnit is a digitally-knitted fabric developed by adidas that is engineered to provide a supportive, comfortable, and breathable fit. It conforms to the foot's shape, offering a sock-like feel.
How does adidas Boost technology work?
Boost technology uses thousands of expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets that are molded together. These pellets store and release energy with every stride, providing superior cushioning, responsiveness, and impact absorption.
Is this shoe suitable for serious basketball players?
Yes, the shoe features Boost cushioning for impact reduction and a PrimeKnit upper for a secure, flexible fit, making it suitable for basketball. However, individual preference for the level of ankle support from a sock-like silhouette may vary.
What colors are featured in the 'Slate Azure' colorway?
The Slate Azure colorway features a distinctive knit pattern that transitions from Slate (a grayish-blue) to Azure (a brighter blue), complemented by black accents on the ankle collar and laces.
How should I clean the knit material?
To clean the PrimeKnit, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cool water. Gently wipe the surface and allow the shoes to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing.
When was the adidas Yeezy BSKTBL Knit Slate Azure released?
The adidas Yeezy BSKTBL Knit Slate Azure was released on June 10th, 2022.
Are these shoes true to size?
The PrimeKnit upper is designed to conform to your foot. Most users find these shoes to fit true to size, but if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consider your personal fit preference for knit sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable around the foot.
Ensure you have the correct size. The PrimeKnit is designed to conform, but if it feels overly constrictive, try adjusting the lacing. Wearing thinner socks might also alleviate pressure.
Lacing feels insecure or comes undone during activity.
Double-knot your laces for added security. Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets to distribute tension evenly.
Knit upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Dab, do not rub aggressively, and allow to air dry. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. A light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch beneath the insole can sometimes help.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
While Boost technology is durable, heavy use can compact cushioning. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose. If the issue persists significantly, consider the age and wear of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Wearing Your Yeezy BSKTBL Knit
- Choose Appropriate Socks: Due to the shoe's sock-like silhouette, thin to medium athletic socks are recommended to maintain the snug fit and breathability.
- Lacing: Utilize the full lacing system to customize the fit. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing the PrimeKnit to conform to your foot comfortably.
- Break-In Period: While PrimeKnit is flexible, a short break-in period might be beneficial for the Boost sole to fully adapt to your stride.
Compatibility
- Sporting Use: Designed for basketball, these shoes are suitable for various court activities. However, individual preferences for ankle support may vary.
- Casual Wear: Excellent for daily wear, streetwear, and athleisure due to their comfort and distinctive style.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Yeezy BSKTBL Knit sneakers:
- Cleaning the PrimeKnit Upper: Gently wipe the knit material with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the knit.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the semi-translucent Boost midsole and rubber outsole.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as it can deform the materials and compromise their structural integrity.
