The video turned into a meme about unstylish shoes, and it worked perfectly in the film when Shuri questioned her brother’s choice of footwear. In the video, Moore asks a police officer, “what are those?” before pointing the camera at the officer’s clunky work shoes. The meme originates from a 2015 Instagram video recorded by Brandon Moore that went viral on Vine (RIP).
One of the funniest scenes in Black Panther is when Shuri, T’Challa’s tech genius sister, references the “What Are Those?” meme. A post shared by Snapchat on at 10:55am PDT
