While sneakers have been getting their fair share of love, there's one from the bunch that has always been a shoe-rotation regular, it's the white sneaker. From high-topped dunks to performance trainers in enviable materials (leather kicks!), the lace-up optional, rubber-soled shoe is one of the longest lasting trends to date. Wearing white sneaks right out of the box might feel like you're really living on the edge (every piece of mother nature is a natural enemy), a pristine pair is an impossible dream. But any good sneaker will look way better scuffed up with a dirt-stained story to tell. Click through to see the cutest white shoes of the season that are meant to get worn in.
These clean kicks are just asking to go on a hike on their first day of wear.
