Full details
The adidas Yeezy 450 Dark Slate is designed for adult wearers seeking a distinctive, avant-garde aesthetic combined with a unique, responsive ride. This model represents the first Yeezy trainer manufactured in Germany, featuring a signature sock-like construction and an exoskeleton-inspired EVA foam midsole. While the shoe offers exceptional style and foot-hugging comfort, users should note that its specialized, high-structure design requires a specific break-in period for optimal fit.

FAQs
Where are the Yeezy 450 shoes manufactured?
The Yeezy 450 is the first model in the Yeezy line to be produced in Germany.
Does the Dark Slate colorway look purely black?
No, the Dark Slate colorway features a black knit base with brown threading, which provides a multi-dimensional, deep brown-black appearance.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Yeezy 450 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not as a technical performance running shoe.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original box with shoe trees or paper stuffing to maintain the shape of the knit upper.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as the high heat and agitation can damage the foam midsole and the structural integrity of the knit.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too tight
The knit material has natural elasticity; wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the fibers to adjust to your foot shape.
Foam midsole shows surface scuffs
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently buff the affected area of the EVA foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Yeezy 450s, follow these guidelines:
Sizing: The 450 series is known for its snug, performance-inspired fit. It is generally recommended to account for the compression of the knit material when selecting your UK size.
Cleaning:
- Remove loose surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
- Gently spot-clean the knit upper with a mild detergent mixed with lukewarm water.
- Wipe the EVA foam midsole using a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoe in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the foam texture.
- Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or high heat sources to prevent material warping.
