It’s hard to go wrong with a pair of white sneakers! Jelly shoes, Crocs, and UGGs have all come and gone, but white sneakers have always been (and likely will always be) in style. White sneakers add their own special touch to any outfit that other footwear cannot attain. Add a pair of multicolored Air Force 1’s to your look, and it might match— but take that exact same pair of shoes in the whitest-white, and it takes the outfit to a whole new level.

Adidas Stan Smith Sneaker

$80 at the time of publication

Made in collaboration with champion tennis player Stan Smith in the 1960s, this is a sneaker that actually earns its name as a “tennis shoe.” Its design is characterized by its rows of perforations in place of the traditional Adidas black striped, its green detailing, and the trefoil logo and “stan smith” lettering on its heel.

Skechers UO Exclusive D’Lites 3 Sneaker

$80 at the time of publication

Skechers? In this day and age? I know what you’re thinking— Skechers went out of style the moment you graduated elementary school and immediately entered dingy dad-shoes territory. But with the return of chunky shoes, Skechers has unexpectedly shot back into the realm of “cool” shoes. Its near-bulky silhouette and mixed mediums of mesh, suede, leather, and even holographic material make it the new hottest sneaker trend. If that isn’t enough to convince you to give Skechers another try, it also features a cooling memory foam insole— can other shoes say they have that?
