tennies
Canvas court shoes
Tennies is informal for tennis shoes—casual athletic footwear with rubber soles, whether or not anyone plays tennis in them.
The word is regional and somewhat dated, more common in parts of the American West and Midwest: I need to grab my tennies before we go to the park.
