SNEAKER SHOWDOWN: BLACK VS WHITE BACK-TO-SCHOOL ESSENTIALS
THE BATTLE OF ESSENTIALS: BLACK VS WHITE
Kick-off this Sneaker Season in style and get your hands on the freshest shoe-drobe staples at Foot Locker! When it comes to essentials, the most crucial question is – black or white?? If you’re unsure whether to choose crispy clean white that effortlessly goes with everything or basic hot black that spices it up with minimal effort, we got you covered.
Our passionate Stripers Jelle and Mercedes from Amsterdam and fashion mavens Sterre (@classymuffin) and Rogerly (@rowengely ) are here to help you settle this once and for all. They have freshly handpicked the best this season has to offer in this battle of fashion-essential shades. Dive in!
Battling for black sneaker supremacy, there’s Rogerly with the adidas Campus, a sneaker made with real leather that provides complete comfort and durability. These shoes also feature a mid-top design, lace closure, and a rubber outsole. Step into your awesome new endeavors with this vintage-styled pair.
Next up, we have Sterre, wearing a Nike Air Max Tuned 1 and showing us that black and bold is the way to go. With premium stability and unbelievable cushioning, these sneakers feature the classic ‘90s style, airy and lightweight mesh, and nature-inspired wavy design lines that draw inspiration from a whale’s tail, palm trees, and ocean waves. Embrace all your daily routines with this unique boldness.
At the white end of the battle, we have our Striper Jelle donning PUMA’s new Exotek NITRO, a pair of sneakers that explore visible functionality and futurism and is a case in point for science and sportswear convergence. These come with a base mesh upper with reflective hits and have a nitrogen-injected foam that’s designed to provide responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package. If you love white shoes with modern tech aesthetic elements, look no further.
Finally, we have Striper Mercedes keeping it fresh and white with the adidas Forum Bold shoes. The trainers stay true to their '80s basketball roots while adding details like a platform outsole. These are made in part with recycled content generated from production waste, making it a great choice for your eco-conscious journey. Add a touch of sophistication to your steps with its premium leather and subtle snakeskin deboss on the famous X-ankle detail.
