Clean Sneaker

Clean Sneaker

That one sneaker you reach out to everyday

A men's edit of clean, minimal sneakers that move from the office to the weekend. Mostly white and neutral leather with a few court classics.

A clean sneaker is the one shoe I think every guy should own a really good pair of. It goes under a suit trouser on a Friday and with jeans on Saturday, and nobody looks twice because nothing is shouting. The easiest place to start is white leather, like the Vince Fulton or the Allen Edmonds Oliver, which both have a quiet shape and a sole that stays low. I went deeper on a related idea in Sneaker Exclusives, Collabs and the Clean Classics.

 

GREATS Royale is the one I would point a friend to for office days, and Polo Ralph Lauren's Jermain is the plainest of the bunch. If you want a little warmth, PUMA's Suede Modern has a gum sole that softens a white pair, and Autry's Medalist is a good match for chinos. Wipe them down after each wear and they hold up for years.
