So many of our favourite '90s and early 2000s styles are making a comeback, including platforms. We love our platform heels for going out at night and having some fun, and for everyday, a platform sandal is always a fun choice. But, recently we're seeing the return of the platform sneaker, and we're not mad about it one bit. Platform sneakers are a great, comfortable way to add a little bit of height and drama to your everyday look. Catch us in them all spring and summer long.
Whether you're looking for a classic all white pair, a statement high-top, or a colourful style, these are the 13 shoes you should be shopping right now. There's a pair of mid-rise white sneakers we're particularly eyeing, but they're all winners in our book. Keep on reading to shop our selects!

We've coveted Isabel Marant platform sneakers for over a decade, and the 2022 iteration may be the designer's best yet. These white Isabel Marant Brooklee Sneakers ($580) are impossibly cool.

These Common Projects Tournament Low Platform Super Sneakers ($415) are the ones you're going to wear every single day. The people we know that have these never want to take them off.

Mid Rise Sneakers: Adidas Nizza Mid Top Platform Sneaker
These Adidas Nizza Mid Top Platform Sneakers ($75) are great if you're interested in a different style than classic high tops. They hit a bit lower on the leg, and we think they're more flattering, especially if you're wearing shorts or a skirt.
