The phrase exploded as a Vine in 2015, when a short clip of a young man shouting at another person's shoes was shared millions of times and turned into a catchphrase for calling out bad footwear. It moved from Vine to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube edits, where it became shorthand for sneaker roasts, especially around hyped releases and fake pairs. It survives because the delivery is so exaggerated that it works without context, instantly signalling disbelief at what someone is wearing.

The What are those sound effect is a loud shout mocking someone's shoes, from the classic Vine meme. Creators use it to roast sneaker fails and bad outfits.
This clip captures the instantly recognisable shout 'What are those?!' delivered in a high, incredulous voice that rises sharply on the final word, followed by a burst of laughter and reaction noise that makes the moment feel chaotic and confrontational. The speaker sounds genuinely baffled by the shoes in front of him, turning a simple question into a full roast. Heard out of context, it lands as pure disbelief, so listeners immediately understand that something about the outfit is being called out, even before they see the video it is paired with.
