I got grass stains on my brand new white trainers, (on my brand new white trainers)”. Yes indeed, these are lyrics to Rizzle Kicks’ ‘Down with the Trumpets’ but it’s also a spiritual mantra to live by. There’s no better feeling than buying a pair of all-white sneakers for the summer, even if we do get them dirty by the first outing.

Think Paul Newman in Jack Purcells or Jonah Hill in adidas and Prada’s Luna Rossa, few shoes are as iconic as a pristine white sneaker. While the design may differ, the effortlessness and undying chic qualities of the all-white sneaker hasn’t changed. However, over the years, we’ve all relied on the comfort of certain shoe models. Think of the Stan Smith, Air Force 1’s and Vans Slip-Ons. These are all classics don’t get us wrong, but we feel there’s scope to get more creative. And what better time to do it than the summer?

We’ve compiled 15 of the best all-white sneakers to make you stand out, even if by the end of a kickabout they’re about three shades darker than they were before.
