The endless appeal of the white tennis shoe is far from a coincidence. Dating all the way back to 1892 as an easy alternative to hard-soled footwear, the silhouette is as classic as they come — and its rich history speaks to its staying power over time. Ask every fashion girl what sneakers are in her closet right now, and she'll tell you that, somewhere in between chunky Balenciaga's and Comme Des Garçons high-tops, there's a pair of faithful Stan Smiths that's withstood newer, shinier trends. While the green-tabbed shoe is still up for grabs, there are tons of white sneakers like Stan Smiths on the market that allow you to invite your own personal taste into the look.

For the maximalist, there's Gucci's Ace sneaker, which boasts the brand's colorful tennis emblem on its side; or, for those who like their wares a bit more worn, Golden Goose is the gold standard (literally) for broken-in silhouettes. You'll find K-Swiss pairs as low as $24.97 on Nordstrom Rack, as well as a whole host of other options.
