The Bella Hadid Sneaker Interview meme originated from a 2017 episode of Complex's 'Sneaker Shopping' series. During the interview, supermodel Bella Hadid used an abundance of forced slang, most notably the phrase, 'If homeboy comes through in like, these... homeboy is gonna like, get it.' The internet quickly turned the awkward phrasing and her specific hand gestures into a viral sensation. It is widely used to mock people who try too hard to sound 'street' or 'cool,' or to ironically comment on someone's questionable footwear and fashion choices. The meme persists as a classic example of celebrity 'cringe' culture on platforms like Twitter and TikTok.
