I can’t tell you how many white sneakers I’ve gone through, and I’m sure the same goes for most of you. You love to have them and try everything to keep them from getting dirty – from walking weirdly to prevent creases to avoiding all dirt patches in the sidewalk.
But somehow you always end up finding a way to get them scuffed up anyway. And when summer comes around, you only want to have kicks as clean as your look. So take this season as a reminder that it’s time to refresh your favorite pair of white sneakers. And try your hardest to keep them clean – it’s impossible but that’s why StockX exists.
Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 White
Cue the cliché Nelly “Air Force Ones” quote: “Don’t nothing get the hype on first sight like, white on whites.” Nelly is absolutely right though, nothing really catches the eye faster than a brand new, crisp white pair of Nike Air Force 1s. They are, without a doubt, the symbolic shoe of summer. Even when the sun shines on them, they’re so bright and clean and the shoe makes every outfit an instant neck-breaking look.

Reebok Club C JJJJound White Olive
Despite the fact that most of his collaborations feature taupes and tonal colors, everything JJJJound touches turns to gold. The Canadian designer reworked the Reebok Club C for a second time, bringing back his minimalist magic to the classic tennis shoe. Its mix of soft white and cream leather adds a vintage aesthetic to the shoe, while its olive insole and outsole bring a dark hit of color for contrast. This new summer classic is for those of you who really appreciate a no-fuss sneaker that will look good however you style it.
Air Jordan 1 AJKO SP Union White Canvas
Earlier this year, LA-based boutique Union dropped their collaborative project with Jordan Brand on the AJKO. And even though the sneaker released around wintertime, this AJ1 Low is great for summer. Its white canvas upper will match with many looks this season and has a removable Swoosh for a fully customizable look.
