In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Chaussures Lidl” is a legendary card of the Memes FR pack, number 4048 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3497 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Chaussures Lidl” meme mean?

The meme pokes fun at the gap between the discount chain’s modest image and the hype usually reserved for luxury sneaker releases that its shoes triggered. It gets shared to highlight the absurdity of a store rush for such an unlikely item, or to joke about an affordable product being resold at an exaggerated price.

Where does the “Chaussures Lidl” meme come from?

Lidl is a German-founded discount supermarket chain operating in many European countries, including France, known for low prices and limited-time promotional items. On several occasions, the chain sold limited-edition sports shoes at a much lower price than comparable branded sneakers, which triggered disproportionate hype: customers lined up as soon as stores opened to get a pair, and some were later resold online for far more than their original price. The phenomenon was widely covered by media and social media, amused by the contrast between Lidl’s discount image and a rush worthy of a high-end sneaker launch.

How to use the “Chaussures Lidl” meme

  • Quoting it to mock a store rush seen as disproportionate.
  • Bringing it up to joke about an affordable product being resold at an inflated price.
