A saying derived from a viral Vine Video where a man sees a cop with off-brand shoes and screams out "What are Those!?" . Now it is used when ever someone has odd looking, off brand, or fake shoes. Also the video inspired many other videos and even an App that has a button that uses the audio from the video and says "What are those!?" when pressed - www.amazon.c o m/ iDesign-DC-What-Those-Button/dp/B010W4W60K
