What Causes Left-sided Knee Pain After Changing Shoes?

I am male, 64 years old and a regular runner (4x/week). I changed running shoes recently but had to go back to my old model due to the heavier weight of the different pair. I developed a somewhat sharp pain behind the left side of my kneecap (left knee only) only when I put direct weight on it such as kneeling. It does not bother me otherwise. Your thoughts?
