/Sounds like "chahm" (as in "chat") + "PYOH" + "nehs" (as in "net")/
Sneakers or athletic shoes in Uruguay, the most charrúa way to say tennis shoes. It comes from the Champion brand that was popular decades ago and stuck as the generic name for all casual sports footwear.
“Put on your championes, we're going to play fútbol.”
“I bought some new championes at the feria.”
