StockX

Best All-White Sneaker

  • Brand: Nike
  • Material: Leather and Rubber
  • Colors: White, but can come in black and other specialty colorways as well
  • Sizes: 6 to 18

Any and every sneakerhead needs a pair of solid white Forces in their closet as it is a sneaker staple at this point in the game. No AF1s is a no-go for any proclaimed sneakerhead, and owning a pair is one of the greatest investments you can make when it comes to sneakers because they can go with just about anything in your wardrobe. Forces are casual and can be dressed down for simple errands, hangouts, and airport runs, but they also have the type of look where they can be worn with a suit or a dress.

Not very many sneakers have that capability making AF1s special. Now most places have Air Force 1s priced at $110 or more, but if you go on StockX you can find them for around $90, which meets the under $100 requirement of this article.

Nike

Best Basketball Shoe

  • Brand: Nike
  • Material: Leather and Rubber
  • Colors: White, but comes in multiple other colorways (though sizing availability may differ)
  • Sizes: 3.5 to 18

As quiet as it’s kept sometimes, most of the shoes deemed “basketball shoes” aren’t actually for playing ball in. In fact, if you were to actually try hoop in some of the so-called basketball shoes on the market you might hurt yourself. While there are loads of solid basketball shoes that will get the job done, our favorite is the Nike Air Max Impact 4 which has a five star rating. The shoe is very comfortable, the ankle support is top notch, and the rubber wraps around the side help with durability and stability.
