If I could only have one minimalist sneaker below $100 which of these three should I go for?
I need to replace my last pair of white sneakers, trying to decide on a replacement all white minimal pair, either these All Star Chuck Taylors low top in leather (https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-leather-unisex-low-top-shoe/136823C_095.html?pid=135253MP&dwvar_135253MP_size=095&dwvar_135253MP_color=mono%20white&dwvar_135253MP_width=standard&styleNo=136823C&pdp=true&buyrec=false#review-teaser), these all white Vans (https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-4265288/vans-seldan-mens-leather-shoes.jsp?skuid=60998744&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=MENS%20SPORT%20SHOES&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=60998744&utm_campaignid=20497470954&CID=shopping30&utm_campaign=SSC&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_campaignid=20497470954&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwkuqvBhAQEiwA65XxQNCRNcvejqyLRpW5jTK4QMLWkjL3UF8sRl5zX9Ursbqj96lupzYU2RoCjWAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds), or just going with the classic all white Stan Smiths. For reference, my closet consists of two button-up shirts (one white, one light blue), multiple tees in white, light grey, and charcoal, jeans one in navy denim one in light blue, and one black bomber jacket. Somewhere between preppy and casual I think. I'm 5'6 and I've tried all three in store already, but I need to know fast cause I need them for an event coming up. Thanks in advance!

Why do you want such a minimalist sneaker considering that's not how you've described your wardrobe/style?
In terms of chucks, white canvas high top chuck 70s are a great move imo
A very minimalist sneaker is going to be harder to style btw
I guess I'm just a big fan of the minimalist sneaker aesthetic, I purposefully tried to go as Basic Bastard as possible
I'd say the chuck 70s I linked are the most basic bastard possible rather than the sneakers you linked actually
I should have mentioned but I also have two pairs of navy shorts, so I'd like shoes that could go with shorts and pants, since the weather is hot six months out of the year
i like both, maybe the converse a little more
though i would try them on if possible, vans tend to fit me better than converse but thats just me
Thanks, and love your tarsier profile pic!
