How did this egregious trend begin and how can a stop be put to it?
How did the trend begin of wearing a certain type of shoe with a suit to begin with? Sneakers are cozy. Not everyone has the money for fancy shoes that don't fit well.
I’ve never seen this, and I am admittedly a member of the worst dressed of all professions.
It's practical if you have walk around a lot.
Check out Terry Bradshaw and Howir Long on the Fox NFL pregame show. They do it all the time. It looks terrible. Jimmy Johnson knows how to dress.

I wear what I want when and where I want and you can fukk off you servile sheep.
Pretty much standard Silicon Valley techster/hipster choice of a couple of years ago. It must be filtering eastward now. Very yesteryear now. Allbirds without socks are now uniform of the day.
It's enjoying a moment among the hipsters, like bushy, unkempt beards. Give it a bit; it'll pass.
Wasn't David Letterman one of the early pioneers of this look?
The obvious answer is to quit wearing those stupid suits.
The only suit I wear with my sneakers is a track suit.
That's nothing. Some clowns wear flip-flops with a suit.
It depends on what gym shoes they are. Air Monarchs and NB 608/624, absolutely not. Common Projects or Stan Smiths will work as well as other more modern, but simple, silhouettes.
If you're under 28, slim, and good looking almost anything will work.
First saw this on late night shows in the early 90s. I thought it was a distraction of some sort. Some guy was typically caught in the wrong in the media and he would be invited on the show. The host would have a motive to break away from the grilling by making a comment on the guest's choice of shoes. The guest would follow that comment with a question and so the grilling was off.
It says "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too"

to answer your second question first, the way to put a stop to it is to make it compulsory. no one does what they are supposed to do and everyone wants to be thought of as a free-thinking liberal with personality and individuality, so make sneakers with suits the official uniform at your place of work and in double-quick time no one will want to be associated with this look.
fortunately, this also answers your first question, this trend began because no one wanted to be a neo-maxi zoom dweebi who wears what they are supposed to wear. (except soldiers and nurses, who obviously had problems with the dressing up box when they were kids and now wear their mom's high heels and lipstick when they go home after work).

Yes - like mullets say business in front but party in the back. This says business up top but fitness on the bottom.
Ok sorry,
About 10-15 years ago I was killing time in a Nike store before a job interview. I of course was wearing a suit. I tried on the latest Pegasus shoes or something like that. The kid working at the store was very impressed.
"Woah wearing sneakers with a suit - what a great look".
I'm sure this trend started from what I did that day.
Sorry.

I freaking love it. Everything about it.

Most men in the workplace have no idea what passes for even reasonably acceptable fashion.
I'd wager a bet that probably 99% of suit wearers are wearing something that doesn't fit either

Dude, things are always changing. Do you wear a top hat to work?
