Even if you're not a hardcore sneakerhead, the chances are you're probably talking about the brand new Yeezy 450. Taking the Yeezy 500's crown as Kanye West's craziest and more experimental adidas collaboration to date, this insane, dumpling-inspired shoe is the brainchild of legendary designer Steven Smith, who also so happens to be the mind behind other iconic silhouettes such as the Reebok InstaPump Fury, the New Balance 1500, and the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Caged 2.

While the 450 certainly isn't for the faint of heart, there are a few of you who are brave enough to wear these. With that said, we've compiled a little size guide to help you find the perfect fit. With feedback from The Sole Supplier team, we're here to answer all your questions. Do they run small? Should I go true to size? We've got you covered!

Yeezy 450 - How Do They Fit?

  • Fit: In general, the Yeezy 450 fits half a size up.
  • Comfort: The Yeezy 450 is extremely comfortable but it takes some getting used to.
  • Care: Use a fine brush and soapy, warm water to clean these Yeezys.
  • Styling: Go half a size up for the best fit possible.

“Half a size up is what I'd recommend in general for the best fit possible.”
Adam - Head of News & Creative

How do they fit?

As the Yeezy 450 is a pretty new silhouette, I gambled and went half a size up. I personally have pretty wide feet so I think that I really could've gone a full size up, but to be honest, half a size up is what I'd recommend in general for the best fit possible.

Are they comfortable?

The 450 is a pretty weird shoe. Unlike your conventional sneaker, the sock-like collar wraps pretty tightly around your ankle. Obviously others like Alexander Wang and Balenciaga have done this in the past, but infusing this type of silhouette with a chunky midsole automatically makes this one of the most comfortable Yeezys out there - it takes some getting used to though!

How do you style them?

With such a casual silhouette, you really can't go wrong with the classic oversized and track pants combo. Pieces from Fear Of God ESSENTIALS and Yeezy work a treat.

How do you clean them?

This is a difficult one. Most of the shoe is made of Primeknit so I'd just use a conventional stain remover and brush. With the shark tooth-like midsole I would use a very fine brush and move lightly in a circular motion with warm, soapy water.

“I’ve been rocking mine on the regular since I picked them up.”

How do they fit?

Like most Yeezys I own, I went a half a size up for a more comfortable fit. There’s enough room for a bit of movement so I can wear these all day long!

Are they comfortable?

They are surprisingly comfortable. To be honest they don’t look it and I thought they’d just be for the flex, but I’ve been rocking mine on the regular since I picked them up.

How do you style them?

I’ve actually been rocking mine with some dark stonewashed denim. I’m not a massive fan of Yeezys and jeans as I feel it never really works but these 450s are certainly an exception!

How do you clean them?

I try to avoid getting them dirty in the first place, but if these got mucky I’d probably check them in at the Jason Markk store for a deep clean next time I’m in London.

“Take care of your kicks the way you would take care of your kids.”
Raph - Content Writer

How do they fit?

I tend to go half a size up in all my sneakers just to give my feet some breathing space, happy to say I didn’t go wrong with doing the same for the Yeezy 450, my feet don't feel too suffocated.

Are they comfortable?

Undeniably one of the most comfortable kicks in my line-up, the shark teeth-reminiscent soles deliver all-day comfort and cushioning that you won’t find easily from other kicks on the market.

How do you style them?

I style them with wide baggy joggers at home or when I need to nip to the shops really quick.

How do you clean them?

The upper is made from Primeknit so i use a soft sponge dipped into warm, soapy water. As for the midsoles, I use an old toothbrush dipped into water mixed with stain removal liquid. As with most sneaks , I don’t recommend putting them in the washing machine. I always say take care of your kicks the way you would take care of your kids.
