Low-end sneakers are often referred to simply as low-end shoes. In English, they are commonly referred to as "low-end sneakers" or "low-end shoes."
Their core characteristic is a lower upper body that wraps around the ankle rather than covering it. More walkable than mid-and high-end footwear, it's ideal for daily commuting, light exercise (such as running and walking) and casual wear. However, they provide relatively weak ankle support.
Depending on the brand or occasion, low-end sneakers may have more specific names based on function and style. Low-top skate shoes: Nike Dunk Low and Vans SportLow are casual and lightweight shoes with everyday flat silhouettes. Low-top running shoes: Nike Nike Metcon 10 Low Ride and ASICS Gel-Kinetic Fluent emphasize cushioning 574 Low and Converse Chuck breathability.
In short, "low-end shoe" is the general term for this type of sneaker, with more specific names often derived from shoe's function, style or brand design characteristics.
