I am really amazed that almost every response to this sees speakers (i.e., audio equipment) and then says something about sneakers (i.e., athletic footwear).

Yes, I read it as 'sneakers' as well. Pretty sure it's because the word if prefaced with "pair of", which is much more commonly used with 'sneakers'.

Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers / You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers / Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways / It's still rock and roll to me
