Best white trainers for women in 2024 from Nike, Adidas and more

Veja has reissued its first-ever silhouette after launching the brand back in 2005. The original design took inspiration from the volleyball shoes worn in Brazil in the 1970s and went on to sell over 14 million pairs. The shoe returns in nine colours and with the sustainability credentials that we have come to know and love from the eco-conscious label, namely the use of Brazilian and Peruvian organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles and recycled polyester.

Beloved by Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Jennifer Lawrence, the Samba OG sneakers are the certified footwear uniform for style-savvy celebrities. You can’t walk down the streets of London without seeing at least one of the ubiquitous shoes - and their popularity shows no signs of wavering. With a retro vibe and clean, classic and elegant silhouette, it is no surprise that these nostalgic trainers are a hit. They are adorned with Adidas’ signature three stripes and complete with a gum sole.

A surprisingly street style star, the Nike Shox TL Trainers have become a favourite of the fashion glitterati with their unmissable construction. While the upper is a throwback to Nike’s popular Noughties silhouette, the sneakers have a futuristic edge with their pillar cushioning system that may just make them the most comfortable pair in your ever-growing collection.

The pared-back, contemporary aesthetic that has given Axel Arigato its viral status also makes them an easy styling detailing for all occasions. The Dice Lo is a classic with vintage sentiments, impeccable craftsmanship using Italian leather and there’s a sustainable edge too with the use of recycled PET bottles and plastic.

That summer feeling in shoe form, Parisian fashion label Maje has unveiled its newest silhouette. The M Sneaker is a mix of leather, mesh, nylon, suede and nubuck with a design that takes inspiration from running trainers. It’s very much a fashion shoe, though, with its chunky sole and eye-popping rainbow colourway that has touches of yellow and purple. A more muted cream variation is available too for the minimalists as well as one with metallic finishes.

These retro-inspired unisex tennis trainers from Reebok are the ultimate summer companion. They’re the type of trainers that look just as good when totally scuffed up as they do straight out of the box. You can even add a name or number to personalise your shoes. Glasto on the left foot, 2024 on the right foot perhaps?

The Blazer is back! Nike has brought its retro basketball favourite to the forefront of the fashion agenda as a must-have shoe for the summer and beyond. The style is characterised by its bold Swoosh that comes in an array of colours and for the platform, a stacked sole that gives an elongating effect to pins.

The Noughties continue to inspire our fashion choices and Adidas has dived back into its archives to rerelease the 2000 Running collection. There are three silhouettes; Ozmillen (an Ozweego-esque design with metallic overlays and two-tone colourways), Response CL (with mesh and cushioned midsole) and adiStar Cushion (featuring metallic and reflective elements).

If not for the impressive sustainability credentials, then perhaps we can entice you to the world of Allbirds through this pared-back shoe. It is crafted from a lightweight and renewable eucalyptus fibre that is extremely breathable, comfortable and machine-washable.

New Balance's 480s are the sleek, clean alternative to the brand's better-known chunky dad shoes. Following the brand's signature, not only are they a strong style choice, but they'll also be some of the comfiest kicks you own.

Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger, now owned by sportswear giant Asics, has been creating trainers since 1949. The Mexico 66 is a blend of two of the brand’s classic training shoes released in the 60s, combining the throwback aesthetic with modern design features for perhaps its most iconic shoe yet.

Whether you’re drawn in by Hailey Bieber in its campaign imagery or lean towards Superga for its clean, classic and elegant silhouettes, they’re one of the easiest shoes to style on the market, particularly when you go for the Cotu Classic. Wimbledon, picnics in the park, beer gardens with friends; they make for all-season wear - just be wary that they may not retain their box-fresh pristine white if you decide to take them to the festival field.

This sneaker from New Balance takes its design cues from the brand’s archival running shoes but in line with the current penchant for so uncool it’s cool styling, they have a fashion-ready design with a combination of textures and ultra-wearability. These will make a very good addition to your footwear repertoire.
