dad shoes = a stereotypical kind of shoe popular with middle-aged American men: ugly low-top white sneakers with thick soles
to be into something = to enjoy something; to be a fan of something
Is this what the kids are into these days? = Do kids really like these ugly shoes? Are these shoes truly this popular?

The person who wrote it is asking a rhetorical question, meaning that they think it is lame and kids shouldn't be into it. (It's a little bit of a joke. 'Dad shoes' would mean shoes that look like what your dad would wear. ダサい)
