While they’re arguably more suited to the summer months, every sneakerhead needs to own at least a few pairs of crisp white sneakers, as they’re probably the most versatile weapon you can have in your sneaker arsenal. Whether it’s a classic pair of AF1s or something a little bit more contemporary like an adidas Ultraboost , sometimes a pair of white kicks is all you need to finish off an outfit, although it’s not always easy picking out a pair that suits your personal style.
As with all sneakers, there’s a huge amount of variation on the market, so that’s why here at The Sole Supplier we set out to find the best white sneakers for men once and for all. Between the team here it’s safe to say that we’ve tried plenty of options, so you can be sure that we’re here to give honest advice, so without further ado let’s dive straight into the action!
Nike Air Force 1 07 "Triple White" Now let us be honest, it would basically be treason to write this list without the inclusion of the Nike Air Force 1 “Triple White” . Designed by Bruce Kilgore back in 1982, the design of the AF1 is one of the most timeless ever and remains an absolute cult classic today. Decked out in plain white, the sneakers do all the talking and the crisp leather construction acts as the perfect finisher to pretty much any outfit you can think of. If you’re yet to own a pair of these iconic kicks you absolutely need to go and pick them up soon.
adidas Ultraboost "Made to be Remade" While you can’t beat the classics, there’s a new kid on the block in the form of the adidas Ultraboost. Offering state of the art comfort, streamlined looks and a lightweight construction for everyday wear, many sneakerheads swear by the Ultraboost to act as daily steppers, and they look just as clean in triple white. If you’re searching for a pair that you can slip into for hours on end and experience unrivalled comfort, then these just might be the best white sneakers that you can find right now.
Nike Waffle One "Summit White" Launched in early 2021, the Nike Waffle One draws inspiration from the early days of the Swoosh brand and more specifically, Bill Bowerman’s waffle-soled running sneakers. By combining the vintage design language with modern day cushioning and technology, Nike has turned the retro runner into one of the most convenient everyday beaters. Look no further if you’re yearning for comfort but in love with the old-school look.
New Balance 327 "White" After it’s impressive market breakthrough in 2020, the New Balance 327 has continued to be a popular option for sneakerheads across the world. Following a retro-runner design language, the sneakers are affordable, comfortable and great looking. Several different white colourways have been released over the lifespan of the silhouette, and they’re all great options that can be dressed both up and down, working their way into your sneaker collection seamlessly.

Nike Dunk Low "Triple White" As one of the most popular silhouettes on the market right now, the Nike Dunk Low was bound to make an appearance on this list, especially the icy-clean triple white variant that continues to sell out almost every time it restocks. Created by Peter Moore back in 1985, the Nike Dunk is a no-frills basketball sneaker that quickly transcended across to the lifestyle market, remaining popular even today with sneaker and fashion fans alike. If you’re yet to purchase your first pair of Dunks this is a pretty epic place to start!
adidas Originals Superstar "Triple White" Coming in strong as our next addition to the list is none other than the classic adidas Originals Superstar . A silhouette that’s remained in the spotlight for well over 50 years, the Superstar is a go-to for plenty of people, and not just sneakerheads either. Crafted from supple leather and showcasing the instantly-recognisable shell toe, these are just as durable as they are stylish, meaning adding these into your rotation is a solid move - you’ll still be rocking the same pair for years to come.
New Balance 2002R Protection Pack "Sea Salt" When the trio of colourways that made up the New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack” that first launched back in June 2021, plenty of sneakerheads snapped them up due to their clean aesthetic and wearable design. Decked out in several shades of white, the “Sea Salt” variant wasn’t the most popular upon the initial release, however sneakerheads are now snapping pairs up on the resale market due to just how good-looking they are. Cop now as prices are continuing to rise!
Nike Blazer Mid 77 "Vintage White" In recent years the Nike Blazer has made a significant comeback, and when you really analyse the design it’s not hard to see why. The clean lines and back-to-basics approach make these a valuable sneaker rotation staple that will no doubt garner plenty of wear throughout the years. The classic “white” colourway is easily picked up and can be matched perfectly with casual or even smart casual outfits. If you’re lacking sneaker inspiration let it be known that you can seldom go wrong with a Blazer.
adidas Ozweego "White" If you’re not one for embracing tradition and prefer modernity, then the adidas Ozweego is one of the best-selling contemporary sneakers that offers it all from looks right through to comfort. The cutting-edge design looks like nothing else on the market, which combined with adiPRENE+ cushioning technology makes for a reliable pair of kicks you’ll be wearing everyday before you know it. If that wasn’t enough, there’s plenty of whited-out colourways available right now.

Air Jordan 1 Mid "Triple White" As we’ve somehow made it through this list without the inclusion of a single Air Jordan silhouette, it’s only right that we finish off with none other than the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Triple White”. Ever since the AJ1 debuted in 1985 it’s remained a staple of modern culture, and this edition is certainly no exception. If you’ve never owned a pair of Air Jordans before, then what better place to start than with a pair of triple white 1s?
