Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "pah" (as in "park") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yahs" (as in "yard")/

Meaning

Casual athletic footwear, like sneakers or tennis shoes. In Argentina, Spain, and Chile, 'zapatillas' is used instead of 'tenis' (Mexico) or 'championes' (Uruguay) for this type of casual, comfortable footwear.

Examples

Those zapatillas are sick.

I got some new zapatillas for running and they're amazing.

Regional synonyms

To dress up in a suit or formal clothes, way beyond your usual style. In Mexico, entacucharse means putting on a blazer or formal attire for a special occasion or to impress someone. If someone shows up in a suit at a casual hangout, they definitely got entacuchados.
