19 Best White Sneakers for Men: The Ultimate List

Lacoste is and should be a familiar brand to most folks. They have been churning out highly fashionable tennis gear for decades and have a simple yet memorable style. The classic alligator on their clothing is a clear sign that you are dealing with a luxury brand and owning that gator is a clear way to distinguish what kind of style you have. These shoes are a bit of old school and new school. They are darker, deeper white is a nice change of pace. If you’re looking for something a little brighter they are offered in a color that is listed as “light grey” but they are clearly white. Wear these with nearly any outfit from the basketball court to the dance floor these shoes will serve as a great addition to your growing shoe collection. 

The body of the shoe and the tongue are made of high-quality leather while the sole of the shoe is rubber. The upper part of the shoe is actually a mix of leather and suede leather for a softer feel. The shoes are a little heavier than your typical sneaker but will not weigh you down. If you are looking for a sneaker that can go from day to night then you have come to the right place. You will wear these from summer through winter and they will last as long as you take care of them. The ease of the velcro straps combined with the luxurious design makes these a crowd pleaser and fan favorite. 

K-Swiss is a super stylish and incredibly sensible shoe brand. The brand originally got its start as a tennis shoe and took off from there. Now, the brand is one of the biggest shoe and athletic clothing makers in the world. This sneaker from the Tennis giant is a great example of their design quality and attention to detail. These are the perfect shoe to wear with a great pair of khaki shorts or pants but since they are pearly white they will match great with jeans, board shorts, slacks and really anything you can throw at them. They are a good pair to wear to the tennis court or just a night out with friends. While being very lightweight they are also very sturdy and will last you for years with the right care.

The different looks on the sneaker give it depth and break up the solid white. There is a bit of a mesh look, up by the ankle and a smooth toe and sole. The shoe is leather but the sole is synthetic which is pretty standard amongst the world of tennis shoes. The synthetic soles will help with slipping and sliding and the leather uppers will keep them looking fresher longer. Also, synthetic soles last longer than rubber soles and that is always a plus when it comes to sneakers you are going to wear more often than not. 

If you are looking for the perfect shoe to go from the basketball court to a concert or hanging with your buds these are a great choice. They are bigger and have a bit more to them than some of the shoes on this list but they are also the kind of shoe that breaks in perfectly to your foot. These will work just as well with your mesh shorts as they will with jeans or khakis. While you won’t be able to make them work at the office but they are the kind of shoes that you have in your car for when you take off those loafers or dress shoes after a long day. Wear them to work out or play hard.

These shoes feature laces and a velcro band that goes around your upper foot/lower shin. You can wear them loose and undone or tight and snug. The shoes have a leather upper and are synthetic throughout. The soles are synthetic for longer life and have a bit more spring in the step than your typical rubber-soled kicks. They also feature extra cushioning and a UVA sock liner for extra comfort. These will be one of the most comfortable, and toughest pair of sneakers in your arsenal. Every guy needs a trusty pair of kicks like these. 

The Chuck Taylor All-Star from Converse is not only iconic but is also one of the most recognizable sneakers the world has ever seen. You have seen these shoes on basketball courts and in movies and TV for years, decades even. They are comfy, super popular and will slide right into your rotation. These Chucks are all white, but there are a couple of other “white” options as well. There is a white with a blue and red stripe that is pretty sexy as well. Lace these up with your favorite jeans and head out on the town but brace yourself for some much-deserved compliments. The great thing about these shoes is that they are tough, they are durable and they are going to be your new faves. 

These kicks are a little different than the original canvas Chucks. These are leather and a bit more sturdy than those canvas All-Stars. The sole is still rubber and is one of the longest-lasting soles in the shoe game. Part of what makes these shoes so durable is the fact that they are well made. From the laces to the soles these are made to last until they fall apart. And you will wear them until they do. One of the newest upgrades to these shoes is the thicker insole for more arch support and comfort. 

If your shoe collection hasn’t had a pair of Nikes in it then you are doing something wrong. A great pair of Nikes is the cornerstone of any great shoe collection. For those of you that are looking for new sneakers and are in the market for a running shoe then these are going to knock your socks off, figuratively. These shoes are ultra-lightweight and super supportive. They are snug around the ankles for premium support and comfort for long days on your feet or a triathlon. These are your new go-to shoes for anything athletic and they transfer seamlessly to a night out on the town or watching the game with friends. 

These kicks are white on white but not the same shade of white. The two shades are close but they are perfect together. They aren’t too bright or overly loud, they are cushioned and have extra arch support so you can put miles and miles on these bad boys and they won’t quit on you. The soles are rubber and thick so they will add an inch of height to you. The body of the shoe is a knit which helps with the weight and the comfort. They form fit to your foot and I can’t stress this enough, are insanely comfy. 

The classic, smooth, time tested and simplistic beauty of the all-white Adidas Superstar make these an easy pick to add to your collection.  These rubber-soled, rubber toed, iconic sneakers have graced the parkay floors of the NBA as well as red carpets. They are sturdy, comfortable, sleek and sexy.  Simply put, these shoes are timeless. Channel your inner Run DMC or Kareem Abdul-Jabar and add these bad boys to your collection.  Celebs usually make pretty great fashion choices and there is a cavalcade of celebrities wearing these kicks right now.

For a beefier, newer style option, take Nelly’s advice and grab some Air Force 1’s.  These kicks meet at the intersection of the old and new school. Sticking with the low top just gives you more opportunity to roll with these regardless of the outfit when you leave the house.  Nike is notorious for making a comfortable and stylish shoe and if you are on the fence with these go for it, or Just Do It and put these in the regular rotation.  Everyone loves a shoe that can do a bit of everything, these are those shoes.

Puma has been making affordable, sleek shoes for years.  If you’re a fan of the ultra low cut sneaker than these are right up your alley.  This soccer-style shoe is crazy popular and for good reason. They are bright, sharp and unobnoxious.  These are an easy to slide on and lightweight alternative to the classic sneaker.  These are not your father’s soccer shoes!

When you think Converse you probably think about Chuck’s, the classic old school canvas shoe that doesn’t offer much in the way of comfort and durability.  Converse has been around for decades, and in those decades they have made some changes to their original recipe. The El Distrito is a great pick if you want something a little different.  These are not your typical plain white sneaks. They have style, they have a skate shoe meets basketball shoe meets walking around shoe look and the comfort and affordability to be a great addition to the collection.  People will be surprised when they ask “what kind of shoes are those”?  And you respond with, “Chuck’s”!  

If you’re a fan of the Adidas Superstar we talked about earlier in this post, but you need something a little more athletic, you will love these.  These kicks are stylish, they are comfortable and they are lightweight.  They are a fantastic running shoe and are attractive enough to be worn off the jogging path or track.  If these shoes played baseball they’d be a utility player, capable of doing everything you need them to do and you can build your outfit around them.  Jeans and a t-shirt?  Go for it!  Khakis and a polo?  Not a problem.  Board shorts and a tank top? These shoes can handle it.  You are going to look great no matter how you decide to dress with your new white sneaks, and if you need to break out and go for a run, throw on some shorts and keep these shoes close by, they can handle it.

Long after MJ jumped from the free-throw line and became that iconic pose his signature shoes are still very much in style.  Any Jordan fan can remember the first time they opened the box and slipped on those world-famous shoes.  That is if you didn’t wear them out of the store because you were so excited to show them off.  Not only are they recognizable around the globe, but there are literally hundreds of styles and designs to choose from.  Sure they started out as a basketball shoe, but it wasn’t too long after their birth that they became an “everything” shoe.  Wear them on the court, on the street, at a wedding or by the pool, the right pair of Jordan’s can go a long way.  Mix the history of the world’s most famous shoe and the slick look of an all-white design and these shoes can bring your look to the next level.  Baller Status: Achieved!

What would a top ten list of sneakers be without the classic skate shoe?  Vans has been making the perfect shoe for the pro and novice skater and they’ve done one hell of a job.  From coast to coast, skate park to the halfpipe, Vans has been assisting with kickflips and grinds for over fifty years.  These shoes have been as synonymous with skate culture as Tony Hawk himself.  The great thing about Vans is that you DON’T need to be a skateboarder to enjoy the classic style and comfort that these sneakers provide.  These kicks are eye-catching, smooth, and are durable.  They’d have to be to survive what most skater boys and girls put them through.  Don’t be bashful with these utilitarian sneaks, they will treat you well once you’ve got them broken in!

Reebok makes some beautiful sneakers.  They do a bit of everything from basketball to running to tennis shoes to football cleats and even sprinter’s spikes.  They even created the fan-favorite Reebok Pump, which was a shoe from the future and lightyears ahead of its time.  Being so good at giving their fans what they want they have also put out some dope walking around shoes that go with everything.  Dress up, dress down, dress preppie, dress for a first date, or whatever, Reebok has your feet covered.  You look good and when you look good, you feel good.

Lacoste is more well-known for their shirts than they are for their sneakers, but don’t sleep on their sneakers.  For a dressier but not totally formal choice for your new white sneaks check out the design on these gorgeous low top shoes.  If you are looking strictly for a shoe you can wear with anything, then look no further.  While these shoes sport the classic Lacoste alligator they won’t bite, in fact, they will treat your feet right.  Not only are they a very attractive shoe, but they are comfortable, they look good with pants or shorts and are fancy enough to be laced up for a night on the town or a friend’s wedding.  If you are looking for a combination of classy and classic, try these on for size!

Sperry may not be a brand that you are completely familiar with, after checking out these smooth shoes you will never forget the name. The brand is famous for its boat shoes and they have worn the world over by avid sailors and other water travellers. If you were looking for a pair of smooth, bright white shoes, then you have come to the right place. While these are made to be paired with board shorts or your classic khaki shorts these shoes have the ability to go where ever your outfit takes you. Jeans and a tee? Wear these kicks. Polo and some khakis? Wear these kicks. You are going to want to wear these every chance you get. 

They are made almost completely of leather. The soles are synthetic and are made that way to have extra grip and a longer lifespan. The grip is perfect for standing on the slippery deck of a ship, they are, after all, boat shoes. While they are incredibly lightweight they do offer a lot in the way of support. They are designed to absorb the shock when your feet hit the ground, making them not only a hella cool shoe but super comfy throughout the day.

DC shoe brand has been keeping skaters’ feet on the board for a long time. These are the OG in the skate shoe world and the brand’s longevity is partially because of how indestructible these kicks are and partially because of how dope the styles are. If you want a pair of skate shoes that perform as sick as they look then these are the kicks you need to buy. As a skate shoe, they are bulkier and wider than most sneakers. This is to give you better balance and stability while grinding, kick-flipping and ollie-ing. These sneakers are super sexy, the white on white is a great look and the DC logo and USA are great additions. Wear these at the skate park or to a weekend BBQ, as long as you keep it casual these shoes will treat you well.

These sneakers feature leather and suede uppers, elastic tongue centering straps so the tongue won’t ever bunch up on you, even when you slide them on, a foam-padded collar and tongue that cradles the foot for supreme comfort. The lace loops, as well as the body of the shoe, is leather while the sole is rubber. The rubber sole adds to the comfort and grip that you naturally need if you are going to wear them skating. The heel has an impact cushion for comfort as well as an insole that adds more stability and less stress on your arches. 

Tod’s, believe it or not, is actually an Italian luxury shoe brand. Its headquarters are still in Italy today and this brand makes some of the slickest, swaggiest shoes on the planet. From the Royal Family to some of Hollywood’s finest actors, Tod’s brand has been featured on the catwalks of fashion week and the red carpets of the Oscars. You can rock these amazing white kicks with a tee and jeans or a satin shirt and khakis. These shoes will be your new favorites and you will show them off every chance you get. While they are more expensive than your average pair of kicks, they are well worth the money. That classic “T” logo on the side only adds to the dopeness of these shoes. 

These all-white sneakers are handcrafted in Italy and made with only the best leathers to keep your feet as fancy and cool looking as possible. They are a lightweight shoe, with a rubber sole to keep you from slipping and sliding and even though they can take it, you should probably keep these off the basketball court and wear them with jeans, khakis and even shorts for those sailing trips with the family. These shoes are so slick that you can even dress them up with nice slacks and the right shirt and tie. The boss will never know. 

Versace is one of the premier names in everything fashion, from suits to underwear to dope sneakers the brand is high fashion at it’s finest. If you have ever owned anything created by the world-famous brand you know about the quality and care put into everything Versace produces. Take a look at these kicks and really take in the beauty and craftsmanship of this sneaker. Stitched to look almost like a brand, the logo Versace Couture is on the side of the shoe, but in all-white, so it blends in nicely with the rest. These kicks will look so good with a fresh pair of jeans, your best khakis, shorts and even slacks for casual Fridays. 

These kicks are almost all-white, we won’t keep them off the list for the tiny slice of black on the heel because in all reality they are an all-white sneaker. The shoe is made from leather as well as rubber which fills out the sole. They are lightweight enough to take ’em on a jog, but I have a feeling these are going to be your dress kicks, as they should be.
