Reebok Zig Kinetica Concept_Type1
ZIG KINETICA CONCEPT_TYPE1 SHOES
Reebok
After launching its all-new Zig Kinetica silhouette earlier this month with the help of champion UFC fighter Conor McGregor, Reebok’s back with another clean colorway, this time in a “White/Gum” iteration. This version of the Zig Kinetica — dubbed the ‘Concept_Type1’ — blends an array of shapes, lines, and panels together on its upper while an adjustable midfoot strap ties the futuristic kicks together. The silhouette was originally inspired by an early-’00s zig-zag midsole from Reebok’s archives, and the minimalist look of the Zig Kinetica Concept_Type1 makes them a stylish option for casual wear.

New Balance CT1500
CT1500
New Balance
OK, this isn't strictly white, but hey, it's close enough! Going retro again, the New Balance CT1500 is inspired by the original version that launched back in 1988. Coming with a court-inspired upper but with a low-style form, the CT1500 is a New Balance you don't see much of on the street.

adidas
adidas is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Superstar this year, and while we've just been treated to the merging of two icons by way of the new Superstan, we're still all about the classic. This updated Superstar, from the SS20 collection, follows the classic form but adds some nice new detail through the red heel tab.
