There’s nothing like some fresh white sneakers to conjure a back-to-school state of mind. This pair has a comfortable padded footbed, a hint of a gum sole, and a retro leather exterior that’ll pair equally well with dresses now and jeans come the fall. The silhouette is appealingly boxy (as a member of Gen Z, I approve). And at 40 percent off at Shopbop, it’s kind of a no-brainer. The sneakers are part of a larger sale at Shopbop, which is quite good — there are some unassuming New Balances and a couple of Havaianas that you’ll want to throw in your Labor Day weekend tote. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention that the sale includes a few discounted Baggus: The Small Cloud Carry-On Bag and Medium Nylon Crescent Bag caught my eye.
