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.
