Product Information
Full details
The adidas Yeezy 450 Dark Slate is designed for sneaker enthusiasts and lifestyle wearers who prioritize unique aesthetic design and comfort. As the first Yeezy model manufactured in Germany, this trainer features a distinct, sculptural EVA foam midsole that integrates seamlessly with a flexible knit upper, offering a bold look and reliable support. A notable caveat for potential owners is the snug, sock-like construction, which may require careful sizing consideration compared to standard athletic footwear.

FAQs
Is the Yeezy 450 made for running?
No, the Yeezy 450 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not contain the technical support features required for distance running.
Does the Yeezy 450 run true to size?
The Yeezy 450 has a very snug fit. Most users find that sizing up by a half-size is necessary for maximum comfort.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Spot clean the knit area with a gentle detergent and warm water using a soft cloth, allowing it to air dry naturally.
Is this model suitable for wide feet?
The narrow, sock-like construction of the 450 can be restrictive for wide feet, so we recommend trying them on if possible.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the knit and the EVA foam midsole.
Where is the Yeezy 450 manufactured?
The Yeezy 450 is the first model in the line to be manufactured in Germany.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to the tight opening
Use a shoe horn to help slide your heel into the sock-like collar without forcing the material.
Midsole foam looks dull or dusty
Use a soft brush to remove debris from the grooves, then wipe the surface with a damp microfiber cloth.
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Ensure that the knit material is not bunched up and consider wearing thinner socks to alleviate pressure points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 450 trainers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Because the shoe features a sock-like fit, many users prefer to go up at least a half-size from their standard measurement.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and a mild, ph-neutral cleaning solution for the knit upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Midsole Care: The EVA foam can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may discolor the 'Dark Slate' finish.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from yellowing or warping over time.
