While sneakers get their fair share of fashion love, there's one from the bunch that stands the test of time as a shoe-rotation regular: the white sneaker. From retro high-topped dunks to split-toe styles, this classic rubber-soled kick is one of the most enduring footwear trends to date. Not to mention it matches any attire from spring jackets and summer dresses to fall cardigan sweaters and winter coats. White sneakers are a year-round staple, and there's no such thing as too much.

Sporting white sneakers fresh from the box may feel like a dangerous endeavor, but keeping a new pair pristine is an impossible dream. (Besides, any good sneaker will look way better scuffed up and bearing the battle scars of its adventures.) Our advice? Don’t fear the (white) sneaker — just click through to see the best white sneakers a.k.a all the pale-hued “tennies” we love, from vintage-inspired kicks to chunky, dad-approved styles.
