The INSIDER Summary:

The interview was about the supermodel's thoughts on Nike sneakers (she works with the company), but Hadid's choice of works has been criticized as cringe-inducing and inauthentic. She used the word "dope" a bunch of times, "fresh," and "homeboy" in a way that made it look like she was trying too hard.

Here's the part of the interview that went viral on Twitter and got the most attention, taken from the full video from Complex.

"If homeboy is coming through with these, it's quiet," she said in her most notorious line. "Yeah, no, it's quiet for him. But if he comes through in, like, these — you got some Air Maxes out here, you got some Jordans — homeboy is going to, like... get it."

I'm not totally sure what that means either. Isn't someone's personality more important than their shoe choice when it comes to whether someone will "get it"? In any case, the word choice and line delivery make the video something special and I've watched it more times than I'd like to admit.

The line has launched a meme. At first, it was applied to odd footwear choices, keeping up with the original theme of the interview.

The meme also has a more timely application.

Then, as most memes do, it took a more wholesome turn.

As Hadid explains in her full interview, the special thing about sneakers is that so many people are enthusiastic about them: "Basketball, rappers, models — everybody kind of comes together and makes the sickest shoe they possibly can." Her new meme, similarly, is a magical moment that everyone can get behind.
