The 25 Best White Sneakers of 2023

Table of Contents

White sneakers are an icon of men’s fashion. Tracing their roots back to 1900s sports like basketball, tennis, and running, today’s styles have been designed to work with a wide range of outfits and they’re an optimal choice for all-day (and all-night) comfort.

Men’s white sneakers are like the Clark Kent of every wardrobe—unassuming yet downright heroic. These ultra-adaptable kicks effortlessly toe the line between low-key and showstopper, and help take a lot of the guesswork out of getting dressed.

How to Wear Men’s White Sneakers

At Men’s Journal, we love a good pair of white sneakers because they’re so versatile. But for those used to wearing black sneakers or dress shoes, it might be hard to visualize the look. These are MJ’s top tips for rocking white sneakers like a pro, how to pair them with outfits, and why they crush it with a suit.

With Casual Outfits: White sneakers are the ultimate wingman for any casual getup, whether that’s your favorite jeans and a basic T-shirt, chinos and a button-down shirt, or even some breezy shorts and a summer polo. Just remember: Keep the rest of your outfit simple (no crazy patterns, unless you’re at Coachella) and let your sneakers be the main character.

With athleisure: Living a more comfortable life these days? White sneakers are a no-brainer with a pair of men’s joggers or sweats. They perfectly complement the athletic aesthetic and provide a clean, crisp contrast that elevates the entire outfit.

With a suit: We wear sneakers with suits now — it’s a thing, but it begs closer attention to detail. Opt for a modern, slim-cut suit and keep the color palette muted: solid navy, gray, or even a subtle pattern in those colors can work. Pair that suit with your white sneakers to add a dash of panache and a laid-back, more casual vibe to the entire ensemble (though it’ll be too casual for, say, a black-tie wedding). You’ll be turning heads for all the right reasons.

Remember, wearing white sneakers correctly means embracing their easy-breezy versatility to allow them to shine. Whether you’re dressing them up with a suit or keeping it casual with jeans and a tee, these shoes can be the pièce de résistance in any outfit. Far from mundane, the best men’s white sneakers feature a wide variety of styles and variations. The hardest part is choosing the right one for you. To help with that decision, MJ has targeted the 25 best white kicks from iconic brands like Vans and Cole Haan as well as fresh looks from rising brands like Cariuma and Hey Dude.

All that’s left to do is lace up with confidence.

The Best Men’s White Sneakers of 2023

The Cariuma OCA Low’s star is rising steadily, catching a ride on A-listers like Ashton Kutcher, Jon Hamm, and Pete Davidson. It’s such a simple style, so what’s the big deal?

Responsible manufacturing is sexy. This low-top, off-white canvas sneaker from the eco-conscious Brazilian brand does good for the planet as well as a shoe lineup. But they’re also super comfortable thanks to a hybrid cork and memory foam insole. Each pair of their vegan-material sneakers sold means two trees get planted across Brazil and to date, they’ve surpassed two million and couldn’t be more transparent about the process. Do your part — get the shoes.

Move over Stan, there’s a new ace in town. The Roger Centre Court from On is the hot new white tennis sneaker for men. Like the legendary Adidas Stan Smith sneaker, it’s a simple silhouette, but The Roger offers more unique details like perforations, a contrasting heel trim, and a better sole.

Swiss footwear brand On is best known for its unique trail and running shoes, but the company has expanded into casual wear, too. These tennis sneakers, designed in partnership with Roger Federer, fuse courtside style with high-tech comfort.

The all-white Nike Air Force 1 is a legend (maybe a deity) of the Nikeverse world and is regarded by many as the perfect white sneaker. When the first version of this icon dropped in ’82, it was the first basketball shoe to include Nike Air technology in the sole, hence the name.

Through continued collaborations, the Air Force 1 earned its high-profile reputation within the emerging sneaker culture. This low-top style features the same Nike Air tech and chunky sole as the original, though that one was a high-top. Whatever you do, DO NOT get these dirty.

Last year, Sperry launched its first-ever Sport collection optimized for water-based pursuits and the lineup included a fresh take on the brand’s original athletic sea sneaker for the ultimate dad shoe meets deck shoe.

The original Harbormaster has been revamped with a waterproof hydrophobic upper that moves with your feet. The outsoles also feature Adaptive Wave Siping technology to enhance traction on all surfaces while improved cushioning in the midsole will dull engine vibrations when on deck.

Those who are ready to graduate from Vans Slip-Ons (it’s okay if you aren’t) into something nicer looking will love the Koio Garda. This is a great slip-on for guys who dress for summertime freshness and pair well with textured shorts, light-wash denim, and any kind of linen pant.

Koio’s kicks are made by hand in Italy using Leather Working Group-certified sustainable leather. The brand’s easy-wearing Garda slip-ons ride on a durable rubber sole, and they feature elasticated panels for flexibility and an OrthoLite insole for comfort. The brand even claims the stitching is tight enough to resist water.

From a Los Angeles-born running brand that created a shoe that was allegedly banned from the NBA because of its bounce technology comes the TechLoom Wave.

With a one-piece upper constructed from high-elastic TechLoom fabric, APL’s Wave sneakers are stretchy enough to adapt to all kinds of movements. Tuck your laces into the integrated lace loop for a more streamlined look, or remove them entirely to convert these sneaks into stylish slip-ons.

The Greats Royale 2.0 has officially dropped and pays homage to its predecessor after a decade of excellence. Greats exploded out of Brooklyn as a solution for guys seeking premium quality sneakers without designer-label price gouging. Since then, the brand has bolstered its focus on responsible manufacturing without sacrificing quality — the Royale 2.0 is proof.

Crafted in Portugal, the 2.0 brings subtle but interesting additions, like a tack stitch, a mixed-media quarter panel, and gold foil branding on the tongue and heel. The new line features nine colorways, including the white perforated leather — a nod to one of the brand’s best white sneakers ever.

One of the bestselling sneakers from On, the Cloud 5 is flying high amid a surge in popularity around this brand. One of two newer names in running that took off in 2021, On seems to be here to stay with their hybrid performance/lifestyle footwear.

Many white running sneakers look terrible, but the Cloud 5 has enough going on in the lifestyle department to make it not look like medical footwear. It’s a solid pick as a work-from-home shoe that provides comfort during a nice long walk from laptop to lunch.

Yes, they’ve been a thing for a long time, but these are still a really cool-looking off-white sneaker for men. The long-standing partnership between Commes des Garcons and Converse elevated the retired basketball shoe to a whole new level in the world of men’s style.

The off-white canvas looks so good underneath the red of the CDG heart logo and complements broken-in, distressed outfits — real hip stuff. Some have even gone as far as to pair them with black suits and t-shirts, and that also looks incredible. Make the style your own; they look great on guys more than they don’t.

Aside from On, Hoka is another brand that runners have been quick to adopt. The Bondi 8, one of the brand’s most popular styles, might be the best white running shoe available right now.

These white running shoes are cradled by a gray gradient that makes them a little less blinding, and people seem to love them for their temperature control, neutral cushioning, and bouncy response. If this is your next white sneaker, make sure to order at least a half-size up.

Kizik is about to revolutionize the way people think about footwear. This brand is saying “sayonara” to bending over when putting shoes on — all of their styles are hands-free, meaning they go on your foot by walking or stepping into them without the use of hands whatsoever. With this new tech, which provides even easier access than slip-on shoes, Kizik has also inadvertently become a monumental solution for a very common problem that is often not addressed — independence.

Not only are these the best white sneakers for people with wide feet, but they’re the best option for differently-abled people who have difficulty putting on regular shoes. The fact that no hands are required to put these on gives back independence to folks who suffer from things like Parkinson’s disease, diabetic swelling, or even back injuries, and may have had to rely on somebody helping them to get into their shoes.

What’s sure to be the brand’s next core staple, the Vans UltraRange Exo is rising as one of the best men’s sneakers overall. It’s been a while since Vans has put out a game-changer after completely defining skateboarding footwear, but the UltraRange Exo is something special.

Available in white with black or all-white, among over 20 other colorways, is a sneaker for urban adventurers. With a reverse-waffle sole for traction, a generously-wide toe box, and a rubberized toe bumper, these shoes provide long-lasting comfort over any type of terrain.

For a brand that has made a lot of noise in the world of trends, Cariuma is first and foremost a skate brand. The Vallely is a solid pair of white skate shoes with a fully stitched outsole and double-stitched toe for durability and longevity. The rubber sole adds traction for a smooth kick-push, but what’s new here (at least since the early ‘00s), is the cork and memory foam insole. Many of us could have used that when we were 15.

Nobody will say it outright, but skateboarding shoes are in the process of exploding (again) in fashion. Those who grew up with names like Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, and Mike Vallely, for whom this shoe is named, will scoff at the thought of posers wearing their beloved shoes. That means it’s time to break out the old board and skate Cariumas to separate yourself from the noobs.
