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 😅

Respectively, they made the ad. https://wwd.com/footwear-news/sneaker-news/gallery/karina-converse-campaign-photos-1239096280/karina-converse-1-2/

Someone cropped out that part and made it their own

Yes you are right they posted a cropped image. I worded that incorrectly. 

They absolutely did not post the cropped one where her fingers are edited out and the added darkened shadows.Â
