15 Best White Platform Sneakers for Women 2023

A good pair of shoes can transform an outfit and a look for that matter. Women are known to have a particular liking and an obsession for shoes, but the truth is that there are still a good number of men who are passionate about footwear and go to great lengths to find the perfect pair.

Sneakers are some of the most popular men’s shoes because they are fashionable and functional. A man who seriously cares about his look will therefore have a pair of quality sneakers in his wardrobe.

Sneaker styles

The sneakers come in a wide range of styles and the selection of the best solely depends on individual preferences. Most sneakers have flexible uppers and rubber soles and can be worn on different occasions. When looking for the best you of course will need to think about the colours, materials and even laces, and other variables to get a pair that is good enough for your preferences. Below are a few sneaker styles that you can choose from.

Low top sneakers – This is the most common design when it comes to men’s sneakers. The shoe is designed to cover the foot but stops short, so there is no support or covering for the ankle. This style is the best for casual wear and it can have a full set of laces or comes in a slip-on design.

Some of the sneakers have a Velcro closure and it is up to you to choose the design you feel best works for you. You will find the low-top sneakers in myriad patterns and colours; you can go for checkerboard canvas sneakers or natural leather ones among many others. There are very good brands you can trust with quality when buying the low top sneakers.

High top sneakers – Unlike the low top sneakers, the high top sneakers are designed to offer coverage and support to most parts of the ankle. They come with laces coming to the shoe top so there is added stability.

This design of sneakers was derived from basketball shoes where quick movement and cuts, as well as extra support for the ankle, is very necessary. There are so many brands and designs, colours, and materials at your disposal, so you can get what works for you.

Slip-on sneakers – They are very popular as casual streetwear and they are designed in such a way that you only need to slip them over your feet instead of lacing them up. The style usually has an elastic upper so that it is easy for the foot to slide right in and out as needed. This elastic upper also offers a snug fit so you have a comfortable time walking in the slip-on sneakers.

Men’s sneakers are usually in leather or canvas. Leather is a very durable material and it also is water-resistant but it can be expensive compared to canvas sneakers. The leather sneakers are easy to wear casually or even at the office. Canvas material on the other hand is more breathable and less expensive even though it may not be appropriate for cold wet conditions.

Platform sneakers are in for 2020, and you’re probably already seeing them everywhere. For all my shorties out there, this is a dream come true! Plus, platforms are way easier to walk in than sky-high heels, so you won’t worry about falling over while you’re out on the town.

What can I wear with white platform sneakers?

Best sporty white sneakers

1. Nike Air Force 1 ‘07$90

Three of the women we talked to named the classic Nike Air Force 1 as their white sneaker of choice. Michelle Silva, co-founder of the Con. Cept, says she chooses what sneakers to wear based on her mood, but that her go-to is a pair of classic Air Force 1. “They are supremely versatile, and are a staple piece in my closet,” Silva says. Personal shopper and stylist Christel Langué, who buys a pair of Air Force 1’s every year, feels similarly: “You can’t go wrong with Air Force 1’s, and as a native New Yorker I would feel embarrassed not to own a pair,” she says. “A staple for sure.” Leigh Plessner, creative director of Catbird (and noted glittery nail polish collector) is a fan of the style, too, mostly for its versatility. “When my daughter was born, I bought myself a pair of AF1s,” Plessner told us. “They looked cool and unexpected worn with my dresses and nightgowns, and were perfect for dropping her off at daycare and then speed-walking to work.”

$90 AT NORDSTROM $90 AT NIKE

For a new spin on the classic, Madison Hartman, social director at sneaker and streetwear retailer Stadium Goods, says her pick is the Nike Air Force 1 Jester XX. The pair was part of the brand’s “Reimagined” collection, which was designed by a team of fourteen women at Nike. The shoes are “tweaked just enough to stand out,” says Hartman, who points to the elevated heel, tag on the outside, and the askew Nike swoosh and back heel logo as the details that set the Jester XX apart from classic Air Force 1s. “I would pair them with either dark-wash jeans or a pair of plaid pants,” she says.

3. Nike Zoom Gravity Sneakers $137 now 56% offFrom $60

Diane Abapo, director of content at authentic sneaker resale site GOAT, says she’s been wearing Nike’s Zoom Gravity sneakers “nonstop.” “They’re extremely lightweight — like a pile of feathers — athletic-looking and have a midsole that tapers to a pointed heel,” she says. Abapo calls the tapered heel on the Gravity a “less muted” version of the eye-catching tapered heel on the A-Cold-Wall* x Air Zoom Vomero 5s. And while Abapo’s sneaker selections usually revolve around Air Jordan 1s and Air Force 1s (which make appearances further down this list), she’s been into lighter-weight running-style sneakers from Nike lately. “Another perk of opting for lighter running-style sneakers is they’re lighter to pack in a suitcase,” she says. “I’ve been travelling a lot over the last few months and know firsthand that choosing what sneakers to pack is key.”

4. Asics Gel-Kinsei OG $180 now 11% off$161

Another running-sneaker pick comes from Rilka Noel, e-commerce planner at Kith, who says that the Asics Gel-Kinsei OGs are her “current and probably forever” favourites. “I love how comfortable these are, and the classic Asics formstripe gives a nod to the original 2000s silhouette,” Noel says. “They’re designed for running, but I’ve been wearing them every day for all occasions.” She told us that she’s been into technical/performance sneakers with a retro nostalgia vibe — like that 2000s silhouette — for pairing with day-to-night looks, and wears these with ankle socks and dresses, as well as with oversized denim and a silky blouse. “They’re everything,” she says.

5. Nike Air Huarache Run Sneakers$242 now 59% off from $100

“I have the Nike Huarache sneakers in all-white and wear them all the time,” says Elizabeth Tamkin, market strategist at Man Repeller. “The sole has a bit of height, which I like because I’m on the shorter side.” Tamkin also likes that these are unisex, which allows her to “find sneaker-style inspiration from literally anybody in the world.” She pairs the Huaraches with girly dresses (once with a velvet Rhode Resort dress) and tracksuits alike.

6. Everlane The Trainer Sneaker$98

If you’re looking for something sporty but not too sporty, writer and editor Haley Nahman highly recommends these trainers from Everlane. “They’re a little chunky without looking like a full-blown orthopaedic,” she says. “They’re vaguely athletic, like a proper tennis shoe, but not too sporty to wear with trousers.” While Nahman says she is by no means an Everlane evangelist, she does think the sneakers are a real standout from the brand. “They really nailed it with these — they’re super comfortable—maybe not as comfortable as my white Hoka sneakers (which I also love) but much more versatile.”$98 AT EVERLANE

Another semi-sporty pick comes to us from Jess Hannah Révész, founder of J. Hannah jewellery, who — like several other stylish people further down this list — chose Veja (a favourite of many New York magazine staffers) as her go-to sneaker brand. “Veja as a company makes a concerted effort towards sustainability,” she says. “The mesh on this pair is made from a blend of cotton and recycled polyester.” The sneakers feel vaguely retro, and we’re especially into the cleat-Esque gum sole.

8. Converse Chuck Taylor Monochrome High-Top$55

Artist Shantell Martin told us that while she’s a bit biased after designing her own line of sneakers for Puma, she still turns to Converse for her “staple go-to sneaker”: A pair of canvas monochrome Chuck Taylor high-tops. “They’re easy to travel with, super comfy, and the perfect work sneakers for when I’m doing big jobs outside.” (Converse high tops are a favourite of many a Strategist editor and writer, as well.)

9. Vans Sk8-Hi Core Classics$65

“These sneakers have been by my side since my freshman year of high school— I haven’t grown at all, ha,” artist Camille Lanham says of her Vans Sk8-Hi. “What I love most about them is they’ve never failed me with any outfit I’ve tried on.” Lanham also notes that no matter how dirty these get, there’s “nothing a little bleach can’t do.” And if you’re wondering what kind of bleach to try, we again direct you to our guide on how to clean sneakers, according to experts.

10. Converse Chuck 70 Hi “Chinatown Market – UV” From $109Photo: Reid, Hilary

“I love a white sneaker for fall because they’re decadent and defiantly alive,” says Minya Oh a.k.a. radio personality Miss Info, who is also the style director for Stadium Goods. Speaking of lively sneakers, Oh’s pick offers a surprising take on the white-sneaker trend. “I love these stark white Chuck high tops that Converse made with one of my favourite indie streetwear lines, Chinatown Market,” she says. “They look clinical and basic at first, but the specially treated canvas actually reacts to UV light and turns different shades of pink and purple when you go outside,” adds Oh, who notes that they’re a great conversation starter, too.

11. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lugged High Top$70

For a high top that will actually give you some height, One Six Five Jewelry co-founder Kaleigh Shrigley recommends this pair — which she says are something of a sneaker-boot hybrid. “I love that they’re an updated, feminine twist on the classic Chuck Taylors,” she says. “They are so comfortable and look good with everything.”

12. Converse Jack Purcell Canvas Low Top$75

Designer and founder of the sleepwear line The Glad Hours Dominique Porter-Wallace told us she’s been “a devoted Jack Purcell fan since I was a teen” and has the shoes in just about every colour. The white sneakers are particularly versatile, she says: “A crisp white pair goes with quite literally everything.” The fact that wearing them puts her in good company doesn’t hurt. “If they’re cool enough for Steve McQueen, they’re cool enough for me,” she says.

Credo Clean Beauty CEO Dawn Dobras is a Veja fan, as well, but for her, the V-Locks, which feature Velcro straps, are the way to go. “They look much hipper, and the fit is excellent,” she says. Like Li, Dobras points to the brand’s focus on sustainability as a large part of the appeal — the sneakers are made from ethically sourced leather, and this pair is lined with organic cotton.
