Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Yeezy 450 Dark Slate is designed for fashion-forward adults who value a unique, avant-garde aesthetic combined with a comfortable, sock-like fit. As the first Yeezy model manufactured in Germany, it offers a distinctive silhouette featuring a sculpted EVA foam midsole that transitions seamlessly into the upper; however, prospective buyers should note that the unique design requires a specific styling approach due to its bold, structural look.

FAQs
Are the Yeezy 450s true to size?
The Yeezy 450 has a very snug, sock-like fit. Many users prefer to go up half a size compared to standard trainers for more comfort.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily categorized as lifestyle trainers and are intended for walking and casual wear rather than high-performance athletic running.
What is the 'Dark Slate' colorway?
It is a black-based design where brown threading is woven into the knit, creating a complex, dark appearance that looks different under various lighting conditions.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as the heat and agitation can damage the foam midsole and the knit upper structure.
How do I ensure I am buying authentic Yeezy 450s?
Always purchase from authorized retailers and check the MPN (GY5368) against official Adidas product documentation.
Where are these shoes made?
The Yeezy 450 is notable for being the first Yeezy model to be manufactured in Germany.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too tight
The shoe features a compression-fit design; try wearing thinner socks to improve comfort or consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel.
Dirt stuck in the EVA midsole grooves
Use a soft plastic tool or a specialized shoe cleaning brush to gently dislodge debris from the foam structure without scratching the material.
Stains on the leather parts
Use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth first, then gently buff the stained area rather than applying cleaner directly to the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with the Yeezy 450, always verify your UK size, as the knit construction provides a very precise, snug fit. For maintenance, keep the knit upper clean by gently brushing off dry dust with a soft-bristled brush. Because the EVA midsole has deep, molded crevices, use a damp microfibre cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the adhesion between the leather components and the foam midsole. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the knit material from fading or the EVA foam from degrading over long periods of time.
