It’s all about the white sneakers. We pick our favourite white kicks, which can take you from the gym to your 9-to-5.
From the runways to the streets, white sneakers are ruling them all. You can never go wrong with fresh white kicks; they belong in everyone’s wardrobe and go with everything. Need more convincing to give up your heels? Posh Spice (who would’ve never been caught dead in flats years ago) herself hung up her stilettos for Stan Smiths. Below, we pick the six best for both women and men.
Common Projects Leather Original Achilles Low
The OG of minimally designed shoes, Common Projects combines immaculate Italian construction with luxury fabrics. The result? Sleek, clean-lined sneakers with the brand’s signature branding of 10 gilded digits. Pictured above are the classic Leather Original Achilles Low, with a durable leather body and a rubber sole. Unfortunately for the ladies, these aren’t available in women’s sizes.
Available at Pedder on Scotts
Axel Arigato Clean 90 Sneaker White Leather
Largely still under-the-radar, ultra-cool Axel Arigato isn’t found in Singapore, but can be shipped in with free delivery. Handmade from smooth Italian calf leather with a matching rubber cup sole, these Clean 90 sneakers are bulkier than the likes of Common Projects, thanks to a higher heel and wider silhouette. They are, however, some of the comfiest sneakers around, thanks to a cushioned footbed and arch support. Confession: I wanted a pair so bad, I made the London store the first stop on a family trip. No regrets.
