Though you may be partial to your retro-cool white LA Gear or Keds sneakers, the latest iterations are anything but snoozy. If they’re not embroidered, printed, or paint splattered, then they’re maxed out with all sorts of playful accents (cough, cough, poms and tassels!). Don’t delay: Usher in spring with a vengeance a la these 10 updated white tennies that are guaranteed to slay on the streets.
