Trying to decide on white sneakers...

So I want to get a pair of white sneakers for the spring/summer. I’m debating between going with a designer shoe like the Common Projects Achilles, SLP all white, or Givenchy all white knots sneaker. Then I was thinking about getting something more basic instead like a all white Nike Airforce 1or Stan Smith all white. I would wear them mostly with straight leg jeans. Thoughts on this???

If you are debating between those options, I would personally opt for the Stan Smith white sneakers, so you have a pair that will last you years stylewise and which won't break the bank.
Out of the other options, I prefer the Common Projects Achilles Sneakers because of its clean looks.

I hope I could be of use and good luck with the decision.

Have a stylish day,
GTWY

Don't wear Stan Smiths they are too ubiquitous (I used to like them a lot but the big bang marketing return=everyone wears them). Designer sneakers are stupid so unless you absolutely want some specific pair get some normal ones like the Nike Tennis or some Keds or maybe Springcourts. Hell even Muji has got you covered.

I do get the fact that you think Stan Smiths are too common, however doesn't that mean that they are great sneakers? These white sneakers are probably the most iconic white sneaker there is. If you want to stand out, these sneakers are not for you, however if you just want a great pair of affordable white leather sneakers, you cannot go wrong with Stan Smith's in my humble opinion.

We have just launched our Sneaker Range which includes an all white option (see below)

It would be good to get your thoughts on them as a new addition to our collection.

Many thanks
