The antecedent for the pronoun those is the same as for any pronoun. The antecedent may come before the pronoun in the sentence or later in the sentence, or even in a related sentence. Like other pronoun antecedents, it may not be mentioned at all if it is already known to the speaker and listener or indicated by physical gesture. Examples:

Those are the shoes I want.

These are the cookies I made and Sandy made those.

Look at those! (speaker indicates by gesture)
