24 Expensive-Looking Sleek White Sneakers
Sartorially speaking, 2026 is about keeping a low profile. At least, when it comes to your sneakers. Sleek white sneakers anchored several of Celine and Polo Ralph Lauren’s S/S 26 runway looks, a far cry from the chunky Y2K styles we’ve seen the last few seasons. Celine’s version, in particular, is sure to become a cult classic. Crafted of smooth white leather with a long toe and limited space for laces, it's a cross between flats, lace-up jazz shoes, and Oxfords. While still low profile, Polo Ralph Lauren’s white canvas sneakers have more sport and heft to them. They’re heavily reminiscent of a certain laid-back Southern California skateboarding brand. Venice Beach meets Upper East Side summer.
The slim sneakers seen in Dries Van Noten’s S/S 26 collection have an almost fitted appearance. They outfitted nearly every look that came down the runway. While they were done almost exclusively in bright colors and patterns, I couldn’t help but home in on their sleek white sneaker take. In typical Dries fashion, they were adorned with colorful charms.
So, kiss your Asics Gels goodbye—24 of our favorite sleek white sneaker picks are moments away.
