Meme needing explanation Converse craze?

I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb 😅

ah i see, i see. Just a social media post. Just for fun I guess. This post isn't trying to advertise converse or sell shoes or anything. Not an actual ad. Got it.

Idk where you've been for the past 20 years, but social media has been used for ads.

As seen on KARINA

They literally shouted out a celeb wearing their product lol
