Meaning

Athletic sneakers in Uruguay. Comes from the Champion brand but got generalized as the name for any casual athletic footwear, just like saying 'tenis' in Mexico or 'zapatillas' in Argentina.

Examples

I got some new championes for running.

Those championes are worn out, you need new ones.

Regional synonyms
