A simple “nice shoes” for something as obvious as SBB should suffice for a stranger.

Guys...all I was doing was tying to pay a stranger a compliment.
Have we fallen so far in the year of our lord 2023, that that seems strange?
I figured that anyone wearing Shattered Backboards would know what they are and be happy that other people recognize that.
When you can dress, you're gonna get random compliments on your sneakers at least a few times a year.
I always just say "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it" and keep it movin.
Unless they're fly too, then we usually end up having a conversation
It's only cringy when they're new to sneakers and are trying to impress you, IMO.

I was walking into Whole Foods yesterday and I saw some college kid wearing the Shattered Backboards. I’d never seen a pair in the wild before.
As I was walking by I pointed to his shoes and said “Shattered Boards?”
He looked at me and replied, “What?”
”Your shoes, Shattered Backboards right? Nice shoes!”
He was like “Uh, yeah…..righttt. Thanks.”
He had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
Kid’s walking around in a pair of $1500 shoes that I’ve dreamed about owning for years and he doesn’t even know what they are.
…there is no god.

That gif is a completely inaccurate depiction of how I was looking at him and frankly...I don't appreciate it.I get compliments on shoes and normally have short convos with people about them and it's not a thing.
I've complimented people and had no issues.
Maybe it's the way that you're looking at them for 10 minutes before approaching them and looking like this
Asking him if they're Shattered Backboards is weird?The way you did it
