8 Best White Sneakers That Fit Every Style

Like a basic clean white T-shirt, a good pair of white sneakers is a wardrobe essential that you can always rely on, regardless of the occasion.

According to Nav Gill, author of She Kicks and former editor at Hypebae, white shoes have long been a favorite among sneakerheads and casual fans alike. It’s debatable exactly when they became a cultural mainstay; some attribute it to the tennis boom of the 1960s, while others attribute it to Adidas’ introduction of the Superstar in the 1970s. “I believe that a significant turning point for white sneakers in women’s wardrobes was Melanie Griffith’s office ensemble in the cult classic Working Girl from the 1980s, where she wore Reebok Classic Leathers before switching them out at her desk,” says Gill.

Nevertheless, white sneakers are available in a vast array of styles, from high fashion to athletic. We looked into the most popular styles and asked footwear industry specialists for their opinions, and here we listed them:

1. Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Sneakers

According to Gill, “not many shoes can retain a loyal following after four decades in the game.” The iconic basketball shoe has been a favorite both on and off the court since the 1980s. Regardless of activity, its padded, low-cut collar and soft midsole provide all-day comfort, and its classic, simple design makes it a perfect complement to any wardrobe. Additionally, unlike the more ostentatious chunky shoes that have been popular in recent seasons, its slight platform provides you a touch of height.

2. Old Navy Low-Top Sneakers

We adore Old Navy’s adorable, reasonably priced shoes, and these simple low-tops are ideal for daily use. First of all, their simple style complements almost any casual ensemble and is incredibly adaptable. Their padded ankle collars, which help prevent blisters or sores, and their soft memory foam insoles, which feel like they belong in a high-end sports shoe, make them incredibly comfortable as well. Given that they cost less than $30, these Old Navy sneakers are an obvious choice.

3. Miu Miu Suede Sneakers

Despite the numerous screen-printed logos, these Miu Miu sneakers are sleek, retro-feeling, and incredibly modest, offering a wide range of styling options. Their luxuriously crafted leather linings and buttery soft suede uppers are complemented by a number of comfort-focused design elements, such as a patterned tread sole and a padded ankle collar.

4. Greats The Royale 2.0 Sneakers

A simple pair of court sneakers will work well for a contemporary interpretation of tennis core, and Greats does just that with The Royale 2.0, a subtle, all-white low-top with lots of styling options. They are of the highest caliber, with soft, high-quality leather and a cozy leather-lined footbed that has antimicrobial qualities to keep things fresh.

5. Reebok FloatZig1 Sneakers

This award-winning sneaker was created by Reebok for runners of all skill levels. With its innovative outsole with high energy return and responsive cushioning to support your feet during long runs, the floatride energy foam construction provides an incredibly comfortable underfoot experience. They’re super lightweight and cushioned for impact, which makes them a great choice for anything from running to dancing to walking to your barre class.

6. Vans Classic Slip-On Sneakers

Vans Slip-On Shoes—yes, the ones you had in high school are a classic that, despite its straightforward style, always appear put together and tidy, whether you’re running errands or to brunch. These simple basics go well with almost anything. Wear them with denim shorts or a breezy sundress. White canvas can be difficult to keep white, so exercise caution when walking on unclean surfaces or in the rain.

7. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Sneakers

We’re likely to see a lot of high-tops like these this season, meaning they’re “of the moment” despite being around for years and years. “You can never go wrong with a pair of Converse sneakers. They’re retro, cool, and easy to style,” says Caroline Maguire, Senior Fashion Director at Shopbop. It’s no surprise that Chuck Taylor All Stars have been adorning the feet of the masses for more than a century given how iconic, adaptable, and reasonably priced they are.

8. On Cloud 5 Sneakers

Wearing these sneakers is like walking on clouds, as the brand name suggests. This lightweight and airy sneaker, which is equipped with the brand’s CloudTec cushioning in Zero-Gravity foam, offers significant comfort and support while lowering muscle fatigue—a necessity for anyone who spends a lot of time standing, walking, or jogging.
