Adidas Yeezy 500 "Clay Brown"

Three materials in one upper

The Yeezy 500 features an upper constructed from mesh, suede, and leather, layered in panels that overlap rather than meeting at the edges. This allows the front to breathe, while the shoe maintains its shape where it receives the most stress, namely on the sides and at the heel. "Clay Brown" stays within a warm, earthy palette: a deep brown broken by gray tones, with no contrasting accents and no single element drawing all the attention. Underneath, adiPRENE+ cushioning is at work, tucked into a thick, sculpted sole finished with a rubber tread. The silhouette is typically chunky—low, wide, with a rounded toe and a high sole wall that visually adds bulk to the shoe and dampens hard landings on the sidewalk while walking.

Fit and how to choose a size

The front is wide, the ankle cutout is low, and the lacing—not the upper itself—is responsible for holding the midfoot; this shoe is better suited for a normal to wider foot than for a very narrow one. The sizing is exceptionally granular: from 36 to 46, with half-sizes like 36 2/3 or 39 1/3, so the chance of finding a perfect fit without compromise is significantly higher here than on a standard scale. The most reliable method is to measure your foot length in centimeters in the evening, when it is slightly larger, and compare the result with our size chart. If the pair doesn't fit, we accept returns within 14 days, and the return shipping cost is covered by the buyer.

How to wear them

Brown and gray get along better with beige, khaki, and navy than with pure black, which is why the 500s look best with straight jeans with a slight cuff, workwear-inspired trousers, and thick-knit sweatpants. The pant leg should end at or just above the upper, because the massive sole needs a bit of breathing room so it doesn't look tucked away. We have collected other variants of the model in the Adidas Yeezy 500 Shoes collection, a wider selection of the line can be found in the Adidas Yeezy shoes, and the rest of the brand's offering in Adidas streetwear shoes.
