FAQs
When was the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'Black Red' originally released?
The original release date for the 'Black Red' colorway was in February 2017.
Has this colorway been restocked?
Yes, the 'Black Red' colorway saw a restock in 2020, giving consumers a second opportunity to purchase them at retail.
What does 'SPLY-350' stand for?
'SPLY-350' is a signature branding element on the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 silhouette, with the exact meaning often debated but widely associated with the model itself.
How do I clean the Primeknit upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mixture of mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub away dirt and allow to air dry completely away from heat.
Is the sizing true to size?
Many users find that Yeezy Boost 350 V2 models fit a half to a full size small. It is recommended to consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you have wider feet.
What is the main benefit of the BOOST cushioning?
The primary benefit of BOOST cushioning is its exceptional energy return, providing a responsive and comfortable feel with every step, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the Primeknit is somewhat breathable, it is not waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as the material can absorb moisture and be difficult to dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
The Primeknit upper offers a flexible fit. If too tight, wear with thin socks. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or insoles for a snugger feel. For significant fit issues, consult sizing charts as feet can vary.
Yellowing of the midsole over time
Midsole yellowing can occur with age and exposure. Clean gently with a mild soap solution. For more persistent yellowing, specialized shoe cleaners or a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide (used with caution and testing on an inconspicuous area first) may help, followed by sunlight exposure for activation.
Wear and tear on the "SPLY-350" stripe
The knitted stripe is durable but can fray with excessive rubbing or snagging. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Gentle cleaning and careful wear are recommended to preserve its appearance.
Pilling of the Primeknit material
Minor pilling can occur with normal wear. Use a fabric shaver or carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors to maintain a clean look.
