This is my sneakers. vs These are my sneakers.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "This is my sneakers." is incorrect because "sneakers" is a plural noun, so it should be paired with the plural demonstrative pronoun "these." Therefore, the correct phrase is "These are my sneakers."
