What should I get to replace my tatty white Supergas?

I think I probably want lace up but not sure of style or colour. I have a pair of navy slip on Birkenstocks (shoes not sandals) so my slip on hole is filled. These are my wear with everything to look less like I'm out for a run shoes. Here with green jumpsuit from Joanie but also wear with cropped or not cropped trousers, skirts, dresses, everything really.
Picture of offending pair that my DM would tell me to put pump whitener on.

New Balance RC 42. I am loving mine. Super comfy too.

I think that style will look too much like I'm out for a run unfortunately. I do like New Balance but try to keep them for actually exercising.

Not the answer you want, but I put my white Supergas in Oxy/Vanish overnight then in the washing machine. They come out looking new. Sorry to be that person - obvs also treat yourself to another pair too!

Might do that too!
Is it just me that buys a new pair but still prefers the old pair? That's bound to happen.

I would just buy another pair of Superga. I've been wearing them for years. I've tried other white trainers but there's something about Superga that just works. You could always go for the leather ones. They are a bit easier to keep clean.

I have discovered the people on Tik Tok and Insta who restore trainers. Mine are lasting twice as long. You can work wonders on the soles with a toothbrush and some washing powder in warm water and restore the shape by dampening them and stuffing them with teatowels. I reckon those have got another summer in them!
