The trainers are composed of tonal grey mesh, suede, and leather for the upper, with a sculptural sole featuring adiPrene cushioning.
How do I clean the suede material on the Yeezy 500 Granite?
Gently brush with a suede brush for dust and light dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
The Yeezy 500 Granite is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for comfort and style during everyday wear. They are not optimized for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
What does 'Granite' refer to in the product name?

What is adiPrene cushioning?
AdiPrene is a cushioning technology developed by adidas that provides comfort and shock absorption in the sole of the shoe, offering support for extended wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some durability, the suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. The adiPrene cushioning may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional support.
Color transfer from suede to socks.
This can occur with new suede items. Wearing darker socks initially can help mask minor transfer. Consider a suede protector spray, testing it on a small area first.
Laces become dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
