Recommend a White Sneaker for Summer

mykel67 · May 22, 2011

I like the Jack Purcells, Common Projects and even the Adidas ones suggested. The canvas Converse are nice but I've always found them hard to keep fresh/clean.

I was just browsing YOOX and came across these by C'N'C. A little too logo-ed perhaps, but similar to the suggested styles, no?

The best all white sneakers of all time in my humble opinion:

Screw white achilles. The above are cheaper, dont come unglued as easily, and look better the more they take a beating. Also, cp achilles are just a deriative of stan smiths anyways.

I always rotate 2 pairs, and I always buy a new pair every 3 years or so once a pair gets too worn out.

These aren't exactly what you are looking for and are probably too athletic looking for you anyway, but I like these Jack Purcell Johnny Welds...

Here is a decent amount of whiteish summer shoes. Non baller status.

By the way, what's your price range?

those apc's are sweet! i've always been more into cream than white. white reminds me too much of hospitals.

Your opinion is wrong. In fact, it's not even all white.

I need a new pair as my old one is really destroyed by now, best place to KOP, too lazy to know to adidas store. There is a vintage, all-white version, right?

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
