FAQs
What are the Yeezy 500 Granite made of?
The Yeezy 500 Granite features a suede construction with woven lace loops and a sculptural sole equipped with adiPrene cushioning.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these suitable for running?
No, the Yeezy 500 Granite is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not for athletic performance activities like running. The adiPrene cushioning is for comfort, not impact protection during high-intensity exercise.
What inspired the design of the Yeezy 500?
The Yeezy 500 design incorporates elements from 1990s hiking boots, notably the woven lace loops, combined with a modern, sculptural sole.
How does the adiPrene cushioning work?
adiPrene is a resilient cushioning material that absorbs shock, providing comfort and support with every step.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the suede can be treated for some water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede material.
What other colors are available in the Yeezy 500 series?
The Yeezy 500 series has been released in various colorways over time, including Blush, Utility Black, Salt, and Desert Rat, among others.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Laces feel loose
Re-tie the laces, ensuring the woven loops are providing adequate tension. Check for any fraying or damage to the laces themselves.
Sole appears worn or scuffed
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For significant wear, professional shoe repair may be an option, though cosmetic restoration of sculptural soles can be challenging.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used sparingly. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.
