FAQs
What is adiPrene cushioning?
adiPrene is a proprietary adidas cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and provide comfort. In the Yeezy 500, it replaces the more common BOOST technology, contributing to the shoe's firm yet responsive feel.
Is the Yeezy 500 Super Moon Yellow true to size?
Generally, the Yeezy 500 series is considered by many to fit true to size. However, individual foot shape can vary. For this specific pair, the size is UK 8.
How often should I clean my Yeezy 500s?
Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and in what conditions. It's recommended to spot clean any dirt immediately. A more thorough cleaning can be done every few weeks or months, as needed, to maintain their appearance.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the materials offer some resistance, Yeezy 500s are not designed to be waterproof. Heavy rain should be avoided as it can stain the materials and potentially damage the shoe. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What kind of outfits pair best with the Super Moon Yellow color?
The Super Moon Yellow is a bold color. It pairs very well with neutral tones like black, white, grey, beige, and olive. It can also complement other earth tones or be used as a vibrant contrast against darker outfits for a streetwear look.
When was this specific colorway originally released?
The Yeezy 500 Super Moon Yellow was initially released as part of the Yeezy Season 6 bundle, followed by a wider general release in June of 2018.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug or loose
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size (UK 8 for this specific pair). If fit issues persist, consider trying a different lacing technique or wearing thinner/thicker socks to adjust comfort.
Scuff marks or dirt on the upper
For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For deeper stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials (often found in the Yeezy 500 series) should be applied gently according to product instructions.
Yellow color appears dull or faded
This can happen over time with wear. Regular cleaning helps. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can contribute to color fading. Consider using a shoe protector spray designed for colored sneakers.
Squeaking sound when walking
Squeaking can sometimes occur if there's friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Using your Yeezy 500s is straightforward:

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Yeezy 500 Super Moon Yellows:
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Deep Cleaning: For more significant dirt, use a sneaker-specific cleaning kit, following the product's instructions. Use a soft brush for uppers and a stiffer brush for soles.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material damage or discoloration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.
- Water Exposure: While durable, excessive water exposure (e.g., heavy rain, puddles) should be limited to preserve the materials and color.
