The Best White Trainers, Because Nothing Beats a Fresh Pair
Chalky treads from New Balance, Nike, Bape, Louboutin and more
Trainers – they make us feel things. And different genres of kicks give rise to different emotions, hence the eclecticism of our shoe racks.
Some examples for your head top: retro kicks give rise to nostalgia; gorpcore treads awaken our sense of adventure; hype trainers provide a big ol’ ego boost; running trainers convince us that we’ve got our s*** together. And then there’s white trainers – a true source of confidence and joy.
Not to mention, relief. When in doubt, you can always rely on a white trainer to complete your ensemble; hence, it's truly comforting to find a crisp pair of white trainers waiting for you by the doorway when you’re in no position to overthink your footwear choice for the day.
Convinced you need a new pair? Discover the best white trainers for the rest of the year (and beyond!) below.
New Balance
The deconstructed design of the highly sought-after New Balance 2002R Protection Pack comes to the 1906, forming the 1906D (the white version is the most chic).
£155; mrporter.com
Nike
A rather simple white trainer, with a rather elaborate history, that’s still very difficult to beat.
£115; jdsports.co.uk
Maison Mihara Yasuhiro
Salehe Bembury x Crocs
The Crocs Pollex Clog, designed in collaboration with Tribeca-born polymath Salehe Bembury, is a sight to behold. Especially when cast in this cloud white shade, ‘stratus’.
£160; stockx.com
Christian Louboutin
For all of the manic hysteria in the sneakerhead world, Christian Louboutin still keeps things restrained and beautiful. See the Louis Junior trainer for all the proof you need.
£725; matchesfashion.com
Saucony
Saucony brings touches of its Jazz Original to a traditional court shoe, creating a white trainer for everyday adventures.
£100; saucony.com
Duke and Dexter
Well made, well priced and well (well) nice, the Ritchie is, undeniably, Duke and Dexter’s handsomest sneaker silhouette to date. And like most Italian leather kicks, it's best done in white.
£200; dukeanddexter.com
Converse
From basketball sneak to hip-hop favourite to – today – a universally appreciated trainer.
£60; schuh.co.uk
Veja
Veja – the Parisian label on a mission to make the sneakersphere are more sustainable space – is behind these sleek, chic low-tops formed from smooth embroidered leather.
