sportssko
Webster's dictionary has sneakers as:
a shoe or slipper with a cloth upper and a continuous sole and heel as of one piece of soft rubber, used for play or sports.
Sneakers is the most commonly used term for tennis shoes.

for running - running shoes
for gym - gym shoes
Both types are like a tennis shoe. A shoe flike this is sneakers.
And I would still call it "sportssho"
