This is what you say/scream when you see someone wearing shoes or other footwear that are dirty and/or non-brand unknown. You should also point your finger in the air then while saying "what are those?!" Make your way down to the person shoes, all while their back is turned.

Boy: What Are Those?!
Crowd: *laughs*
Person with ugly shoes: huh? (Unaware of what just happened, so they laugh)

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
