FAQs
How do I clean the 'Super Moon Yellow' suede without damaging it?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and always follow product instructions. Air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers true to size?
The adidas Yeezy 500 generally fits true to size. However, some individuals with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear the Yeezy 500 'Super Moon Yellow' in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in wet conditions due to the suede upper, which is prone to water damage and staining. Applying a water and stain repellent spray can offer some protection, but complete waterproofing is not guaranteed.
What does 'Feet You Wear' inspired technology mean for these sneakers?
The 'Feet You Wear' technology, originally from Adidas in the 1990s, focused on mimicking the natural shape of the foot for improved stability and flexibility. The Yeezy 500's chunky midsole draws aesthetic and comfort inspiration from this era, offering a supportive and unique ride.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper of the adidas Yeezy 500 'Super Moon Yellow' is constructed from a combination of premium suede overlays and breathable mesh underlays, providing both a distinct texture and comfort.
Was the 'Super Moon Yellow' colorway always widely available?
No, the 'Super Moon Yellow' colorway was originally released in December 2017 as a very limited, exclusive bundle item. It was later made available to the general public in wider, though still controlled, releases.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull, matted, or discolored.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and texture of the suede. For light discoloration, a suede eraser can sometimes help. For severe discoloration, professional cleaning may be required.
Visible stains on the 'Super Moon Yellow' suede.
Act quickly! Blot liquid stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, gently use a suede eraser. If the stain persists, sparingly use a specialized suede cleaning kit following its instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sneakers feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
Check the condition of the insoles; they may become compressed with wear. Consider replacing them with new insoles if needed. Ensure you are lacing the shoes correctly for a secure and supportive fit.
Rubber midsole or outsole looks dirty or discolored.
Clean the rubber components with a mild shoe cleaner or a mixture of soap and water. Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) for stubborn dirt in the grooves. For yellowing, specialized sole cleaning solutions might be effective, but use with caution.
Slight creasing on the upper.
While some creasing is natural with wear, storing the sneakers with shoe trees can help maintain their shape and minimize excessive creasing when not in use.

Care
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your Yeezy 500s, especially the suede, is crucial.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede):
- For dry dirt or dust, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush off particles. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For scuffs or marks, use a suede eraser (like a pencil eraser for suede) to gently rub the affected area.
- For deeper stains, sparingly use a specialized suede cleaning solution according to its instructions. Avoid saturating the suede.
- Regular Cleaning (Mesh & Midsole):
- For mesh sections, use a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted dish soap) and a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub.
- Clean the robust rubber midsole and outsole with a shoe cleaner or a mix of mild soap and water, using a brush or old toothbrush to get into crevices.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the suede and adhesives. Stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your Yeezy 500s in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing. Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Avoid Wet Conditions: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. Try to avoid wearing these sneakers in rain, snow, or excessively wet environments.
