Tennis shoes isn't just LA. Pretty much everyone in the south says that. I was raised in Bama and everyone called them tennis shoes.

common way for Louisianans to refer to sneakers
I was born in Texas and spent a quarter of my life there before moving to Louisiana. Both of my parents and all four grandparents were born, raised, and lived most of their lives, in Texas. My entire family has always said, "tinney shoes", when referring to "sneakers." It's not just a Louisiana thing.

Nothing is more cringe than some fat plant baw saying, “You got on your tinney shoes today, baw?”

Tinney Shoes is short for Tennis Shoes I think
Probably right, but I find it funny. Tenney shoes and tennis shoes have the same number of syllables, neither is shorter than the other.
Then there's GSW for Gun Shot Wound (or Gunshot Wound) The abbreviation is four syllables while the words are only three syllables.

Folks here, particularly country folks, say tinney shoes.
Why do you hate salt of the earth folks, OP?

When people call them “kicks” it is much more annoying.

In England they call them "trainers".
So glad we divorced ourselves from that place.

I grew up in East Tennessee. Most of my family are in Kentucky. I never heard anyone refer to tennis shoes as "sneakers" until I started working around Yankees.

I downvote because thread title is misleading.
OP is only trolling for an argument.

How many times has this actually happened to you? Be honest.

Does it really matter? They are all shoes. When someone says Tinney shoes you know what they are talking about.
I bet you’d kill yourself if a plant baw called them work shoes.

Because the bastardization of the word sneakers, when said with a thick southern accent, tends to sound like a racial slur.
Sneakers becomes Snickers, but said with a very soft, almost non-existent S sound, and Nickers sounds way too close to another word.
So avoid it altogether and say Tennis Shoes

The term "tennis shoe" originated in the 1880s and was used to describe shoes made for tennis players. By 1913, the term was also used as a generic term for shoes with cloth tops and rubber soles.
The term "tennis shoe" is often used to refer to athletic shoes in general, even if they are not specifically designed for tennis.
In the United States, the term "tennis shoe" is used as a generic term for athletic footwear in most areas outside of the Northeast and the south of Florida
