Most versatile non-white Vans?
Hello!
So I'm looking to get a new pair of sneakers, Vans most likely. I have some black sk8 highs with that white accent stripe, but the flat sole is killing me plus summer is coming, so I want to get some Old Skool Skates (the model with the Popcush insole). I've done some searching and browsed through this subreddit for a bit, and the white sneaker (Stan Smiths, White Authentics/Eras, Reebok Club Cs, etc) seems to be the gold standard for most people. However, I personally don't want to get a white sneaker, as I do not find cleaning my shoes nonstop appealing, especially if they have some canvas.

Here are the two options I have found in my region, so basically any color from the two links. I'm looking for something that I can preferably use with jeans (black and blue, standard) and chinos (currently have a beige and a green, might get a grey/caramel in the future), OCBDs, cargo shorts, and so on. Basically a do it all shoe. I'm not expecting it to look perfect with everything, but just like decent.
So which color scheme should I chose?

fwiw white sneakers don’t have to be clean
In fact, common consensus is that they look better a little beat up
But of these two I prefer the first
Yeah, the white sole looks better
There's also these options besides those listed in the image
like the link preview images
Ik Ik, but canvas and suede is much harder to clean then like leather
And I've got to say I simply can't stand the Stan Smith model
So don’t clean them
That's...an interesting take what can I say
Canvas looks better when it's cooked
I won’t say don’t ever clean them. Trying to keep canvas shoes clean forever is an uphill battle
Hmm okay.
I'll have to get a white canvas shoe some time in the future then
