FAQs

What is the main material used in the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black'?

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and mesh.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?

The Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort for walking and daily activities, but not optimized for high-impact sports like running.

What does 'Utility Black' refer to in the name?

'Utility Black' describes the specific colorway, which features a semi-faded black finish on the mesh and suede upper, distinguishing it from a uniform, deep black.

What is the sole technology used in the Yeezy 500?

The Yeezy 500 features adiPRENE+ cushioning for comfort and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and mesh.

How does the sizing typically run for the Yeezy 500?

Sizing for Yeezy models can vary. It is generally recommended to consult size charts or reviews specific to the Yeezy 500 model for the most accurate fit, or consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush in a consistent direction to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, consider a suede cleaner following product instructions.

Mesh material has scuff marks

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a small amount of mild soap on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.

Laces are difficult to tighten evenly

Ensure laces are not twisted and are threaded through eyelets smoothly. Re-lace the shoes if necessary, paying attention to tension at each stage.

General discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break-in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that socks are not bunching inside the shoe.

Care:
