White sneakers are a wardrobe essential, but that doesn't mean they have to be basic.
White sneakers are an easy and safe choice of footwear since they are appropriate with pretty much any outfit, style, or occasion.
We are, however, tired of seeing the same models of white sneakers on every guy on the street. The white kicks that we’ve gathered below are simple and minimal, but they are nowhere near basic.
Thaely produces their shoes from recycled materials such as plastic bottles and bags. It doesn’t stop here; the box that comes with the shoes can be planted to yield a basil plant.
Chucks are comfortable, casual, and can even be worn at the gym (gym heads who lift would know). Here, it gets a makeover with patchwork, giving it a worn-in vintage vibe. Each pair has its own unique patches and tones, making each pair one-of-a-kind.
Dutch brand Filling Pieces has always been about merging high-end footwear with streetwear culture. We particularly love the suede and leather mix as well as the military toe cap design. The two-tone shades of white add a super cool finish too.
Looking for a chunky sole? This sneaker by MCQ features a chunky sole, an intricate lacing design as well as a contrasting logo patch on the tongue.
Nike’s Blazer mids are timeless and iconic. The raw details and elements like the crispy edgy uppers and vintage rubber soles make it a streetwear staple. The Blazer are well-loved by skaters for its extreme durability.
The Orion is a great silhouette for those who want an easy sneaker to throw on and head out as it features an ever-so-smooth all-leather design by Belgian label Raf Simons.
Salomon makes shoes that are durable and bold. We love the XT-6 for its outstanding durable mesh design and comfort cushioning.
The rigged sole lends an edge to the shoe whilst proving support if you’re running errands all day. The clasp lace-up ensures you won’t be tripping on your laces.
The V-10 low-top sneakers make an excellent staple for those who want to shop consciously and invest in premium products. We appreciate that it is made from organic cotton and ethically sourced Amazonian rubber.
