Morphology
The meaning 'a shoe for running' is directly and transparently built from 'running' (the activity) + 'shoe' (footwear); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this compound noun. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English composition, so the sense is immediately predictable from its parts.
Etymology
Running shoe comes from a simple idea: shoe makers made a light shoe specifically for running, so people began calling that special kind a running shoe. That's why today it means a light, comfortable shoe made for running.
