FAQs

What makes the 'Utility Black' colorway unique?

The 'Utility Black' colorway features a distinct semi-faded black finish, offering a more nuanced and less stark appearance compared to a standard pitch-black.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for athletic running due to their bulky silhouette and materials.

How do I clean the suede parts of the Yeezy 500?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, employ a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What is the fit like for the Yeezy 500?

The Yeezy 500 generally runs true to size, but some users recommend going up half a size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you have wider feet. It's always best to try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the suede and mesh materials can be easily damaged or stained by moisture.

What materials are the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' made from?

The trainers are constructed with a combination of mesh and suede, featuring a rubber sole and midsole.

How do I maintain the overall look of the trainers?

Regularly brush off dust and dirt. Spot clean any marks promptly using appropriate methods for suede and mesh. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.

Laces feel insecure

Re-tie the laces, ensuring they are snug through the unconventional eyelets. Consider adjusting the lacing pattern for a more secure feel.

Sole shows scuffs

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or mild cleaning solution can be used cautiously.

Mesh sections are stained

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
