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.

Any experience on these? What do you guys think?

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

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.

@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?

Thanks for the report, Stuart, that does help!

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:

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.
