For a lot of students across America, back to school season doesn’t equate to hitting up the mall to look for the best stand-out-in-a-crowd clothing. Instead, it means school uniforms and all black or all white sneakers.<\/p>\n

This isn’t necessarily a death sentence for sneakers though, as there are plenty of uniform-friendly kicks out there. So to help out all of our younger readers who are heading back to school, we’ve prepared this buyers’ guide full of sneakers currently available online.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Force 1 Low & Mid<\/strong><\/p>\n

An “All White” list that doesn’t include the Air Force 1 isn’t worth reading. The Mid & Low version are both available now at Nike Store.?(Mid- $92)??(Low-$88)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas Superstar II<\/strong><\/p>\n

All white kicks tend to get dirty very quickly, but the shell toe on the classic adidas Superstar II will help keep your kicks fresh. Grab these from Finish Line. ($65)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas adi-Rise Mid<\/strong><\/p>\n

With two straps, perforated stripes and enough silver accents to get noticed by everyone but the administrators, the adi-Rise mid isn’t just an all white sneaker. Grab a pair at Finish Line. ($80)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clae Parker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offering the most formal aesthetic of any shoe on this list, the Clae Parker mixes full-grain and perforated leathers on its simple upper. This pair is available directly from Clae<\/a>. ($110)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Supra Skytop II TUF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decked out in TUF fabric and donning perforation aplenty, the super-high Skytop II is one of Supra’s most unique models. Factory 413 has a healthy selection of this shoe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vans OTW Larkin Perf Leather<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Vans OTW Collection has been nothing short of impressive. This Larkin owns a perforated leather upper and details like polished eyelets. Shop.Vans<\/a> has a full size run available for the fair price of $65.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Blazer Low AC<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somehow these Blazers have no color and no laces, but still are able to stand out. Three velcro straps appear at the midfoot. Grab them now at Eastbay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Converse Sea Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you think you can get away with the slight hit of orange that will hardly show when you actually where these, we suggest you try. The Sea Star is only $46 at Eastbay.<\/p>\n


\nConverse Chuck Taylor Hi & Low<\/strong><\/p>\n

A timeless sneaker, the Chuck Taylor<\/strong> will never go out of style. And at only forty five bucks, it definitely won’t break the bank. Grab a pair of Highs or Lows now straight from Converse.<\/p>\n

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Hi & Low
\n$45<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 90<\/strong><\/p>\n

2010 marks the twentieth anniversary of the Air Max 90’s introduction to the world, giving more than enough reason to celebrate. Since the “Infrareds” won’t match your school uniform, grab this all black pair now at Eastbay.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 90<\/strong>
\n$95<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Toki ND “Black Perf”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talk about wanting to stand out in a crowd. These Tokis may be all black, but their (currently) Euro-only exclusivity will make sure you’re the only person wearing them in class. Hanon<\/a> will ship them all the way to the States.<\/p>\n

Nike Toki ND<\/strong>
\n$103<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vans Slip-On<\/strong><\/p>\n

A staple for hipsters, skater and surfers alike, the Slip-On owns an all black canvas upper and matching rubber sole. Journeys<\/a> will take care of you on these.<\/p>\n

Vans Slip-On<\/strong>
\n$42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Force 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like the all white Air Force 1, the all black pair is a staple on feet everywhere. Unlike the all white pair, these won’t need to be replaced after your first step in a puddle. Nike Store has them on tap.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Force 1<\/strong>
\n$88<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jordan Pro Strong<\/strong><\/p>\n

This retro Jordan model receives a new colorway and a healthy dose of patent leather this time around. It’s perfect for walking to class or hitting the gym and available now at Finish Line. ($120)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PRO-Keds Royal CVO Perforated<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Possibly the newest sneaker on our list, this perforated PRO-Keds<\/strong> shoe just became available straight from Keds online<\/a>. Sporting a mid-level cut with chukka inspiration, the CVO will work great with pants or shorts. ($85)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max Wavy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The faux Posite shoe that’s won over even the most hard-headed purist, the Air Max Wavy has been a surprise hit. Though this pair is not as flashy as some of the other color offerings, it will still hold its own on the court, especially considering its $80 price tag at Finish Line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
