FAQs
Do the Yeezy 500 Granite run true to size?
Many users report that the Yeezy 500 series, including the Granite model, tends to run small. It is often recommended to purchase half to a full size up from your usual shoe size for a comfortable fit.
What materials are the adidas Yeezy 500 Granite made of?
These trainers are composed of a mix of tonal grey mesh, suede, and leather.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean off dry dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used, but always test it on a small, hidden area first.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature adiPREne cushioning for comfort and support, the Yeezy 500 Granite are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities.
What is the main design inspiration for the Yeezy 500 Granite?
The design takes inspiration from 1990s hiking boots, particularly with the woven lace loops on the tongue, combined with a sculptural sole unit.
What does 'Granite' refer to in the product name?
'Granite' refers to the specific monochromatic grey colorway of this Yeezy 500 model.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede and leather components.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight
The Yeezy 500 Granite can run narrow or small. Consider wearing thinner socks or trying a half to full size larger for a more comfortable fit.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Sole shows signs of wear
Regularly clean the sole with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, specialized sole cleaners or a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the midsole.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occasionally happen with new suede products. Wear darker socks initially, and consider applying a suede protector spray to help seal the color, testing first on a small area.
