“The shoes make a man“.  This saying always comes to my mind, when I wear white sneakers for some time and they look like 10 years old, although I bought them 6 months ago. It takes some maintenance, if you want them to look like brand new. I will give some tips now:

The washing machine is the enemy here. I know it sound weird, but if you do not have to put them in washing machine please do not put them in there. And also do not put them in tumble dryer to increase the damage on them. If you have to put them in washing machine, use very low heat and let them dry

Now get some warm soapy water and invest in 3 important tools. A hard brush, a soft brush, and a soft cloth. Use the hard brush for leather and hard parts. Soft brush for soft parts (like suede or canvas) and work the water into the fabric in circular motions, repeating for deeper stains, then use the soft cloth to wipe

Now that you have your sneakers white as snow, focus on laces. Remove them from shoe and wash them separately in soapy water. You can use hairdryer to dry them. If they are too much damaged for cleaning, do not be afraid to buy new ones

When you buy your sneakers, try to keep the box and do not throw it in garbage. Store shoes in that box to avoid dust and also buy weather protection spray. Prevention is the key word here.

And last advice is to wear socks all the time. I know it looks great going out in sneakers without socks, but it has so many drawbacks. You will be sweating directly into the fabric of your shoe and that will cause discolour, not to mention the smell. Invest into white ankle socks. The trick here is to appear sockless.
