Recommendations for white sneakers to wear with jeans...

[gentleman]

basically, i need a new pair of white sneakers to wear with jeans...obviously dunks are tired but ive been wearing white dunks with jeans for the last few years and they look good with jeans...low to the ground and flat, etc...

i was thinking of some canvas sneaker...i went to steven alan the other day and saw these spring courts that they have...

anyone have any other recommendations?

thx

My choice for white shoes are Jack Purcell classics. They look extremely nice with a good blue jean. They're thicker than converses low taylors and have a much nicer look in my opinion as well. They resemble the ones Dior put out a while ago but they're not 20550825.00.

You gotta rock the stan smiths with the green accent.

Don't let Mama slap you.

Not totally White, but awesome nonetheless!

SERGE, I see that you have on the Vans Collaboration slip-ons. Where is Bingo in that pic? Normally your pics are like a where's waldo book where I search for the Corgi somewhere in the background. Where is that "little sh%T!"? Also, are those APCs you have on? The same ones you posted pics of in the 3 month update?

pro keds are fun.

Yes, Bingo is off in the distance smelling the trees. These are my APCs that I washed and hemmed. They were looking really ripe (I had wine lees all over them.) They turned out great, but I have lees all over them again. The length is perfect. I will post pics and shrinkage details in a main post. I got the Marc Jacobs vans in SF over the weekend at American Rag. They said they only got one pair in each size and no half sizes. I think I was the first to buy them. SF seriously needs some fashon help BTW!

you sell out!! Grant is going to steal them from you as soon as he gets back from OZ!!! Ha Ha Ha!!

thats what you get for shopping at American Gag!!!!!!!

[pinotenvy]

good call. i was gonna say the same

Dior Homme has a nice white sneaker for this summer. Then Y3 also has a few nice ones. They are more expensive but they really do look nicer than the rest.

classic white-green stan smith (even better if you can get the limited ''i love yohji'' edition)

or ''spring court'' plain white classic sneakers. awsome

[mrmax]

To be fair, the Dior ones really arent any better than some cheap canvas shoes.

If you are after actual sneakers, i'd thoroughly recommend adidas jabbers.

Jack Purcell would be my choice. Nice and classic- I'm also looking for a nice white canvas sneaker, and I think I'm going to grab the Jack Purcell.

All white VEJA (fair trade shoes)

[stickykrylon]

sky hook. fucking. hilarious .

dig.

[show_N_pruv]

can't go wrong w/ Stan Smiths.

thought you was the next man

[Fuuma]

Adidas superstar (I'm partial to superstar II in white/navy, an absolute classic)

[themdouble]

The Jabbar "vintage" on harputs.com are dope!

I actually have the Black Hi's (not vintage) but if you're going white...

The Adidas "halfshell" is fresh as well.

I have the Purcells (wore them a lot a couple summers ago) & they work but I'm more "legit" sneaker lately.

I'd probably do all white Vans slip-ons before pursells right now if I was going more leisure.

I certainly would never do any of that high end designer shit! C'mon man...

I actually wouldn't do white for a while cause the market is flooded!

Alright, enough of me...

The latest issue of Details (with Tom Cruise) on the cover has a page on white shoes, pretty nice.
