I haven't played tennis is years and even I know you need a flat, thin sole for the shoes you play tennis in (so you can stop abruptly and turn without falling off them. The serious runners I know have a pair of shoes that they only use for running.

You can wear either of them as casual wear, but different sports call for different shoes.

Tiafoe has most recently been seen sporting Nike Air Zoom GP Turbo tennis shoes.
Fritz makes use of the various versions of the Nike Air Zoom Vapor Pro as his footwear for the 2023 season.
Yet another Nike athlete, Sinner currently uses the Nike Court Air Zoom Zero shoe.
In a testament to their range, Nike supply Rublev with his competition shoe, the Nike Vapor Pro 2.
The world No 1 currently wears the Nike Air Zoom Vapor Pro.

So I ask my question again, do people actually differentiate between "tennis shoes" and "sneakers" when tennis shoes are just literally nikes?

Yes. My Asics tennis shoes are for tennis only. I wouldn’t want to run a mile in them, they’re meant to support lateral movement and and aren’t all that cushioned. I have a different pair of ASICS for running, they feel completely different and don’t give enough ankle support for tennis.
