FAQs
Are the Yeezy 450s waterproof?
No, they are made of knit and leather materials and are not designed for water resistance.
Should I buy my regular size?
The Yeezy 450 has a very snug, sock-like fit. Many users prefer to size up by at least a half size compared to their standard Adidas size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Yeezy 450s, as the intense agitation and heat can damage the structure of the EVA midsole and the knit weave.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a premium knit base with leather detailing.
Is the Dark Slate colorway black or brown?
It is a blend of both. While it appears black at a distance, it features brown threading that creates a unique, deceptive color profile.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
The sock-like collar is intentionally tight for security; use a shoehorn or pull the heel tab firmly to assist your foot entry.
Midsole foam showing scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner or a magic eraser dampened with water, applying light pressure to the scuffed area.
Knit upper feels too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or removing the factory insole to gain a few extra millimeters of internal volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 450s remain in top condition, start by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size—most users find the internal space tight, so consider thin socks for the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the knit upper.
- Midsole Maintenance: Wipe the EVA foam midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap solution; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the foam finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the knit material from fading or losing its elasticity.
- Avoid Moisture: While durable, the leather and knit combination is not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
