those ones
The distant items
Those ones is a demonstrative phrase pointing to specific items already identified or understood, emphasizing plurality and distance (physical or contextual) from the speaker.
It's common in speech but often considered redundant in formal writing, where those alone suffices: Which shoes do you want? Those ones, in the corner.
The construction parallels these ones for nearer objects.
