The picture shows a pair of shoes on a company box. Both the sneakers and the packaging cover are decorated with many brand logos.

User MasterSalah saw white sneakers and created a poll. After 10 thousand votes, 54% of users voted for black. Another 44% saw white sneakers, and 2% chose the “other” option.

In the comments, Twitter users were divided, Gamebomb.ru reports. Some see white sneakers, others see black. Those who saw elements of gold color were also found. Someone seemed gray, green or even pink. Many began to write that they simply do not understand how people can see a different color.
