In psychology, a motive refers to something that moves us to act in certain way in order to reach a desired goal. There are different types of motives, but one of these types are known as "latent motives"

A latent motive is a motive that is unknown to the individual (it's unconscious) or that the individual doesn't want to admit.

In this example, Jammes wants some high-top Converse shoes, he said that he wanted them because they were comfortable. However, he really wants them because his friends have them and he wants to appear "cool" but he wouldn't admit that. We can see that this reason of wanting to appear "cool" to his friends is something that James doesn't want to admit and therefore it's and example of a latent motive.
