White sneakers are an essential part of every rotation. Whether it's white platform sneakers or white leather sneakers, everyone should have at least two or three pairs in their wardrobe. If you're not sure where to begin in acquiring your first one, make sure you read on as Ox Street is here to tell you why you need a pair, how to style them, as well as a few suggestions that are sure to upgrade your outfits this season.
A good pair of white sneakers has the ability to completely tie an outfit together. Whether you're wearing a multicolored ensemble that's made to turn heads wherever you go, or an all-black number that's understated yet unique, white sneakers will work with literally any fit you throw on. One of the main reasons that sneakerheads refuse to invest in a pair is that because they're white and they would need to be cleaned more often.
While this is inherently true, luckily for you Ox Street has written a guide on how to clean and keep your sneakers looking fresh. If you don't want to have to go through the trouble of keeping them spotless, we honestly thing that every scuff and scratch gives your white sneakers even more character and personality.
You can't go wrong with a pair of classic white sneakers. This can refer to either extremely minimalist ones, or silhouettes that originate from the '60s, '70s, or '80s. Falling perfectly in line with today's love of vintage design, there are hundreds of classic models to choose from. While these retro aesthetics might not be everyone's cup of tea, you should still think about exploring them.
The hype surrounding chunky platform sneakers has completely exploded over the past few years. These can fall under two main categories. Either the midsole is chunkier than a normal sneaker, or the entire upper has been designed specifically with oversized dimensions for an old school look and feel. While chunky platform models were seen as quite niche back in the day, now every major brand has at least three or four silhouettes.
White leather sneakers have been all the rage. World-renowned for their focus on quality and craftsmanship, more leather sneakers are paired with mesh or suede (or even both) for the perfect balance of form and function. If you're searching for a pair that's sure to stand the test of time, this is a trend that you definitely do not want to miss out on.
You honestly can't go wrong with wearing all-black everything. From leather jackets to skinny jeans, you can rock this with a pair of leather sneakers and your outfit is sure to turn heads wherever you go. Pair this with some slick sunglasses and you'll be the center of attention in every room you walk into.
The luxury athleisure trend is definitely one of the more popular fashion fads out there. With oversized hoodies and leggings, the main priority here is to keep things nice and relaxed. It also works impeccably well with white chunky platform sneakers, so add some to your collection now.
If you're rocking a suit and shirt this season but you want to keep things slightly casual, you should ditch the dress shoes and switch them for a pair of white classic sneakers instead. Welcoming people to treat you seriously but not too seriously, it's also the perfect combination if you want to wear sneakers for a wedding.
One of the most popular women's sneakers over the past few months, the New Balance 550 "White Green" is a definite must-own for all your female footwear fanatics out there. Made popular thanks to Teddy Santis and his Aime Leon Dore imprint, hype surrounding the '80s basketball shoe isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, so secure your pair right now while the prices are still relatively low.
Whether you're a hardcore Dunk collector or you're searching for your very first pair, the Nike Dunk Low "Photon Dust" should definitely be in your collection today. One of the cleanest Dunks that we've seen in a very long time, it's crafted from a full leather construction and will work with absolutely any fit you throw at it. You definitely can't go wrong with this colorway.
Unlike most of the Air Jordan 1 Low colorways that drop nowadays, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Neutral Grey" sticks to the original shape and silhouette as the original '80s classic. Spotted here in a women's exclusive color scheme, the crisp white leather is paired with light gray suede across the Swoosh and heel badge, resulting in one of the best Jordans that you can buy right now.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months you'd know everything about the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack "Sea Salt." Created by Chinese footwear designer Yue Wu, his take on the 2010 silhouette is offered with jagged suede for an artifact-like aesthetic. All of this is paired with pre-worn details across the ABZORB midsole, automatically making this one of the most sought-after white sneakers today.
One of the most popular AJ 4s out there, the Air Jordan 4 "White Oreo" is as tasty as it sounds. Boasting a full leather construction that's extra premium, speckled "Tech Grey" accents make their way throughout for a look that nods to the '80s. You'll even find a bright red Jumpman logo finely stitched across the tongue just in case you didn't know this was a Michael Jordan shoe.
Perhaps one of G-Dragon's most hyped sneakers with the Swoosh, the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Air Force 1 "Para-Noise 2.0" might look like another classic colorway from a distance, but it's actually packed with a ton of cool details designed by the BIGBANG leader himself. The leather across the upper actually peels off to reveal custom artwork created by Jiyong himself, and the brushstroke detailing across the midsole nods to his Korean roots.
There's no doubt that Chitose Abe is one of the most celebrated Japanese fashion designers of our generation, and creations like the sacai x Nike VaporWaffle "Sail" prove why. A deconstructed dream, everything from the Swooshes to the tongues all the way to the midsoles have been multiplied by two, resulting in an aesthetic that is quite literally twice as nice.
Even though Kanye West's partnership with adidas is well and truly over, there's no denying that the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Zebra" is one of the comfiest white sneakers in the game. Released during the early days of the collaboration, the white Primeknit upper is decorated with zebra stripes throughout for an exotic aesthetic that's sure to turn heads wherever you go.
