Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon I’m sure we are all familiar with. And Stormtroopers is as infamous as they are cool. Their iconic all white gear is topped off by a pair of white chelsea boots which gives them that dab of English style in an otherwise draconian costume.
White chelsea boots are a must-have for any Star Wars cosplay of Halloween outfit and can sometimes be a bit tough to find. What is currently available today are cheaply made boots intended for costume use as opposed to everyday wear. This can be a great thing if you want to dress up as a storm trooper once a year, but pretty disappointing if you are looking for a nice pair of white chelsea boots for everyday use. We recently found one manufacturer that offers good quality white chelsea boots that are exact replicas of the originals seen in the films. Imperial Boots offers the Classic 421 boot which is an all white chelsea boot made especially for cosplayers and costumes. It’s safe to say that Dr Martens does white combat boots for men the right way. Their mono series of boots and special edition colors have us wondering what’s next from the popular boot brand. Here are some of our favorite white boot releases from Dr Martens that are definitely worth a look. Dr Martens 1460 Smooth White Dr Martens offers their 1460 boot in a smooth white finished leather. Other than the leather color little else has changed. The boot still uses the rubber AirWair sole that is found in their classic black 1460 version as well as black eyelets and laces Dr Martens 1460 Mono White For those that want a true white on white boot then the 1460 Mono is the way to go. This boot is completely monochromatic and ever detail down to the sole is white. This is their iconic boot in a re-imagined white for those who want to take their footwear to the next level. Dr Martens Talib Venice If you are interested in a pair of white combat boots but don’t want go with the common 1460 then the Talib Venice is worth a look. These are white combat boots for men that actually look pretty badass on the feet. It’s made of a full grain white leather that has a softer feel unlike the smooth shiny leather used in the 1460. Pascal with Zipper Aunt Sally Although this boot is unisex it’s marketed more towards women. Nevertheless we had to feature it here because of it’s unique design and complete monochromatic design. We especially like the pebbled white leather on these boots that give it a unique texture.
In 2016 Supreme collaborated with Timberland to release a special edition Classic Field Boot. This often overlooked boot is really the ultimate collaboration with our favorite being the white boot color option.
Let’s start with the uppers. The uppers are made from a of really snakeskin embossed leather with a rich matching suede. The suede is a really nice touch as it blends nicely and doesn’t overwhelm the boot. Next up you have gold colored lace eyelets that really pop against the white leather. Black is tied in on the outsole and laces. Overall this is a really well designed boot. Since these boots were a limited release they are pretty hard to find at retailers. Many buyers will have to look to resellers for a pair. You can usually find these boots on Ebay so we recommend going there first if you are planning on buying a pair yourself. Although it’s all about black knit footwear this season, Y-3 has released a few cutting edge white boots for men over the years. Let’s take a look at some of these awesome designs: Y-3 Warrior High These boots were military inspired and it really shows. They look like a cross of classic military boots and a futuristic samurai. We especially love the incorporation of black in these men’s boots. The black sole and top eyelets don’t overwhelm the look but instead form a nice minimal color block that really helps these boots shine. The materials used in these boots are top notch with a mix of canvas and white leather as well as white rubber on the toe. Adidas + Y-3 Chelsea Boot This is an all white chelsea boot that will surely turn some heads. This is one of Y-3’s most classic inspired footwear styles but at closer inspection you’ll see a lot of surprise elements that make this boot streetwear approved. The large Y-3 logo near the front ankle is loud but works and doesn’t seem too out of place. The pull tab on the back of the boot is striped and makes for a playful design element. The all white sole is a nice touch and really makes this a great minimalist boot. Adidas + Y-3 Pro Zip Well the Y-3 Pro Zip isn’t exactly a boot but it’s the only recent Y-3 offering in all white. These high tops are a mix of the popular Adidas Superstar sneaker and Y-3 own unique design elements. It features a zipper instead of laces and a white hard shell toe. On the uppers you can find off-white paneling that really gives these shoes a nice touch.
The Jordan Future boot by Nike is unlike any winter boot we’ve seen before. Released in 2016, this futuristic take on winter footwear looks especially out of this world in it’s all white option. These boots are a blend of Nike’s Air Jordan signature style with elements of higher end footwear that are usually reserved for brands like Y-3. This makes these Jordan Future boot a great value for the price for anyone looking for something original that still has some trademark basketball shoe elements.
As with all Nike athletic footwear, you can expect the Future Boot to be pretty comfortable. For a boot it features enough athletic features to keep it feeling like you are wearing clunky winter boots. A great example of this is the Jordan sneaker outsoles and cushioned footbed. Foot Locker currently has these boots on sale online. Owning a pair of white leather boots can mean higher chances of staining and scuffing. But keeping them clean shouldn’t be a hassle.
