FAQs
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, the Yeezy 500 High uses suede and mesh which are porous materials. It is recommended to use a high-quality water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede overlays, compromise the structural adhesives, and ruin the reflective piping. Always clean by hand.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The Yeezy 500 High takes significant design cues from the KB8 3, a classic retro basketball silhouette worn by Kobe Bryant.
Does the reflective piping always glow?
The reflective piping is designed to reflect light back to the source when illuminated in low-light conditions, such as from car headlights.
Are these suitable for athletic basketball play?
While inspired by basketball footwear, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for competitive sports or rigorous athletic training.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser and brush set to gently lift the stain without scrubbing too hard.
Sole losing its bounce over time
Check the interior footbed for wear; replacing the insole with a compatible high-arch support insert can refresh the internal feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 500 High sneakers last, proper maintenance is essential.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the nap looking fresh. Avoid getting the suede wet, as water can cause staining or texture changes.
- Cleaning: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the finish. For the mesh portions, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep the shape consistent using cedar shoe trees if available.
- Compatibility: These sneakers are true-to-size for most adults, though the high-top collar provides a snug fit around the ankle. Ensure you lace them appropriately to support your specific range of motion.
