Not so long ago, white sneakers had just come into the world. Men took notice, ignored the aspect of crazy-maintenance (they're white, after all) and turned to buying them, in double digit quantity. And in no time, white sneakers were all over the runway, streets, celebrity closets and almost every brand had a variant selling. Years later and in 2018, they're yet the most versatile kicks to own and aren't eyeing a retreat anytime soon.

Indian cricketer and over-all baller, Hardik Pandya is quite close to endorsing this reigning fact too. Just recently for an out-and-about in Mumbai, the white sneaker-fanatic turned to a dope pair of these top-grossing kicks and made us notice. Paired with summer-appropriate stripes and a solid-black pair of bottoms — Pandya pulled out all stops with this one.

If looked at this ensemble with casual-wear expertise, this is quite the sartorial swerve. From keeping it simple (yet spiffy), practical (and well-fitted) to throwing on sunnies to complete the outfit — we're literally seeing no wrong in this sight. And especially for men with dark skin tones, here's also a lesson how to stick to neutral palettes, to flatter your skin tone best.

But coming to the core of this ensemble — Pandya's white sneakers, that are probably the best white kicks we've spotted on a celebrity in a while. And knowing Pandya's history with crisp white sneakers, he's obviously gone for a terrific pair. Technically, these sneakers hail from Onitsuka Tiger's Disney collaboration and features heel-cross reinforcement for added stability.

Retailing at a price of $120 (approx. INR 7,800) — these aren't the most expensive ones out there anyway. You neither need a kidney-trade, nor some major work on your savings to welcome this into your closet.
