A sneaker is a soft, comfortable, casual shoe, usually made for sports or everyday walking — this is the common American English word; British English usually says 'trainer' instead. Less commonly, 'sneaker' can also mean a person who sneaks around, moving quietly to avoid being noticed.
運動鞋、球鞋
組成Sneak (to move quietly and secretly) + -er (a thing or person that does this) — early rubber-soled shoes were called sneakers because they let you walk without making noise.
