As the first Yeezy model manufactured in Germany, it offers a distinct sock-like fit and a signature EVA foam exoskeleton, providing a comfortable, futuristic silhouette.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Yeezy 450 typically features a very snug, compression-like fit due to the knit upper. Many users prefer sizing up by at least a half-size for better comfort.
Can I use these for running?
The Yeezy 450 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, not for performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the knit upper safely?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp, soft cloth with a mild detergent for deeper stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the Yeezy 450 water-resistant?
No, the knit material is porous and will absorb water. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in wet or rainy conditions.
What is the primary difference between the Black and Dark Slate models?
The Dark Slate model incorporates brown threads within the knit, giving it a more nuanced, deep charcoal-brown appearance compared to a standard flat black.
Troubleshooting
Knit material shows signs of pilling
Use a handheld fabric shaver gently on the affected area to remove loose fibers without snagging the knit.
EVA foam midsole scuffs easily
Use a standard white eraser or a soft cloth with warm soapy water to gently rub away surface-level scuffs on the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 450s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. The knit upper is susceptible to absorbing liquids and dirt, so avoid wearing them in harsh weather or muddy conditions. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them using a soft-bristled brush and mild, non-abrasive detergent mixed with water; do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and knit integrity. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the knit from fading or the EVA foam from warping. Because these shoes feature a snug, sock-like entry, consider using a shoe horn to prevent fraying the heel collar when putting them on.
