I Still Can’t Figure Out Why Everyone Loves These Dirty-Looking Sneakers

I love how a great a pair of white sneakers seamlessly works with everything. I wear mine with my favorite jeans, and I've even anchored fancy dresses with a pair fresh sneaks. But the moment my white shoes get a scuff or a little dirt on them, I feel obligated to either throw them in the washing machine or retire them.

On the other side of the spectrum, people are paying hundreds of dollars for sneakers that are designed to look dirty. Yes, I'm talking built-in scuff marks, stains, the whole shebang.
