      well… I actually have the Roadrunner size 14  😎
      works well but I am looking for something more Chucks-style...

        Hello folks! Summer is coming and i realized i never had a pair of the classic white sneakers everyone uses! What high branded and not perfectly white coloured pair would you suggest me?

            those looks cool! But i am looking for something with a "darker" white, like ice coloured and more sporty yet elegant. I can spend any amount, i was looking at these original designed by zegna couture:

            What do you think?

              @IronMan they look cool.

              If money isn't an issue take a look at FEIT; https://www.feitdirect.com/products/mfhsloh-wht

                  i wear the Scarpas the most. super comfy and had em >1year. PF Flyers are comfy too but dont wear em that often. interestingly enough the US made ones owned by New Balance now. and of course, New Balance. my go-to for 30+ years. and of course, the obligatory Crocs.

                        No experience with this brand but I don't like them.  It's the heel that kills it for me.

                          Not to my taste either. A little too high fashion orientated.

                            Agreed, good way to put it.

                              Seems like a lot to pay for a pair of Stan Smith knockoffs.

                                Have any of you tried the Buzz Rickson shoes?  Is there a considerable difference between them an some Chuck Taylors?  I'm more of a high tops guy, but I am curious.  They look very clean.

                                  I’ve been tempted but never pulled the trigger. History Preservation had the Buzz Rickson tiger striped camo high tops on sale awhile back but I couldn’t bring myself to buy them because I wasn’t sure of my size.

                                    @Stuart.T has experience with BR shoes so maybe he could give you, @Paul9221, his experinece with them . . .

                                      @Paul9221 I've got a pair of Buzz Rickson in a UK size 9. They fit true to size, where as brands such as shoes like pottery and Moonstar I'd have to size down by half a size.

                                      The BR have a different sole construction to those made in Kurume. The construction is similar to chucks. I own a pair a chuck 70s too so have a good comparison. The BR are slightly wider, which suits my feet. The footbed/insole are super comfortable, I find that after a day on my feet, my feet are less fatigued in the BRs.

                                      The colour of the canvas and sole is an ecru off-white, something else I prefer personally over ice white sneakers. I like them, and in summertime I wear them often. Clutch cafe also sell a black and olive drab version. I hope that helps?

                                          Do you know any high quality white sneakers (>300€) that doesn't look like Feit? Not my taste… i'd wear them mainly with barbanapoli and incotex trousers

                                          EDIT: found those:

                                          https://www.greats.com/products/the-royale-blanco-white?view=2

                                          Which aren't very expensive but looks gorgeous,  i am questioning about quality, any experience with these?

                                            @IronMan  I’m not presuming to speak for everyone here, but I have a feeling you may be pitching this to the wrong crowd. Not sure how many of the people here wear Barba Napoli or Incotex. There is generally a more rugged look amongst a lot (but by no means all) Iron Heart fans.

                                            The sneakers most guys wear here will be Chucks, NB or Vans with some Shoes Like Pottery, Buzz Rickson etc thrown in. You have Moonstar also. Possibly Common Projects. TFH and IH have both made sneakers. Most of these brands are making a version of the post war athletic shoe or a simple skate shoe.  Check them out by all means.
