Clean white sneakers around 150EUR ( can probably stretch to 200 )
Hi, I'm basically looking for a better quality pair of Stan Smiths. I used to just replace them with a new pair every time they got worn out, but since the switch to fake leather they've been getting worse and worse so I'm in the market for something new.
My main issue is that most of the recommendations I find for my price range are US only ( Beckett Simonon and Koio for examle ). Is there anything out there for us Europeans?
In case it matters, I don't need them now now, but I can't really wait more than a month.

or the Margiela ones
out of budget but they're much nicer (can probably find them in budget used)

Thank you for the recommendation, Nacho. I should've mentioned I'm looking for something that can be dressed up slightly
ah
@GSH will laugh, but if you are looking for better Stan Smiths, Adidas literally makes them. The Stan Smith Lux is leather, and about $150. I have a pair, and like them.
Minimal white sneakers are not on trend right now though.
These look close to what I'm looking for, thanks!
Is there a white, white version? The only ones I can find are the off white ones?
Honestly a great suggestion given this specific query :keepincool:
Too ironic tho
The off white is still pretty white. I have these: https://www.adidas.com/us/stan-smith-lux-shoes/HP2201.html
I was concerned they were not going to be white enough, but they read as white to my eye.
I guess I can always order them and then return them if they look too yellow in person
Not off white or cream.
I mean, if you are Tom Wolfe maybe. But with jeans or chinos, they are just going to look white.
Hahah. They'll be worn with jeans ( black, dark blue ) during the warmer winter days and ligher jeans or chinos during the summer. I guess they should be fine then
Here's a pic of me wearing them: https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1142196512034668594/1213552509105479700
Ok yeah, that doesn't look anywhere close to how off they are on the official site
I guess perfect lighting isnt perfect for everything :D
Yeah, I think the pic on the Adidas site makes them look more yellow than they are.
Well, I think I've got what I wanted then. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome
