White sneakers: The ageless icon and how to keep them clean

WHITE sneakers are a must-have, no matter your age. You don't need to be a fashion expert to know they're as essential as a good pair of jeans.

They are timeless, versatile, and loved across generations, making them the ultimate style shortcut.

Even my dad, with his classic taste, swears by them, while my Gen Z son practically lives in his Nike Air Force 1s.

Even though they started as sports shoes, think tennis shoes, they slowly crept into everyday lives, becoming a symbol of cool comfort.

My dad used to rock New Balances, which are now referred to as “dad sneakers”, while my youngest daughter is begging for a pair of Adidas Sambas.

Then there's me, now clocking in at 50, who used to love my canvas Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars in my young days. I wore them with just about everything.

Now my go-to white sneaker is a classic pair of Adidas Stan Smiths, even though I’m well aware of the fact that the Sambas are all the rage right now.
