Yet you call them sneakers - I like to imagine that's because you use them to sneak around in, and hope that you wont get heard !
Older people call them sneakers. Running shoes is the best way to describe the expensive ones for pretentious people.

I grew up with sneakers and will always call them that though here I say Nikes. It isn’t like I run or sneak around in them.
