"Yo, what's up? This is Ape Drums, DJ, producer, artist. SNKRS just dropped off a package. Let's check it out".

"Yes. Wow, look at that. I mean, the colour's already on point. I feel like I'm going to be on vacation with these. The traditional green, orange colourway for Jarritos®".

"This is something I never thought I'd see, the Nike SB Dunk x Jarritos® collaboration. It's a lot of history with Jarritos®. A lot of history with Nike SB Dunks. This is crazy, man. This is really cool".

"Jarritos® definitely has a part of Miami culture, being a lot of Latinos here. I think Jarritos® just has a lot of history with being a part of Latin, Hispanic cuisine. I mean, every spot you go to that's either Peruvian, Mexican, Cuban, there's going to be Jarritos® there".

"I have a lot of memories drinking Jarritos® as a kid. When we would go to the park and play there would be the paletero, the guy that sells popsicles would always have Jarritos® in the cooler as well. You go to the taco spot on the corner, you have Jarritos® you eat with your tacos".

"We would, as kids, just go to the corner store just to go get snacks. I'd always get a Jarritos®. They would open it for you right when you bought it. It was my whole childhood, man. The music and skate community are really well connected, especially now. I think everything is just blended. People who do music also skate …"

"… and people who skate as a profession also probably enjoy making music on the side. I feel like my music style and my fashion style are very well connected. When I was younger, I was a little bit more hype. I wanted to be part of everything that was cool".

"And now that I'm getting older, I'm a little bit more simplified. Classic, traditional silhouettes in shoes and styles. I guess you could say I matured in that sense. When I was making music at a younger age, I was just really into the crazy energy like, wow, the raging".

"And now that I'm a little bit older, I feel like my music has grown in that sense as well. Nowadays, your kicks are like a billboard kind of representing for yourself. When you see somebody and you're checking out their 'fit …"

"… one of the first things you look at is their shoes. So I think it's really cool and important for Jarritos® and SB to do this together. This fabric here, this is cool because when you skate and it tears away, you see this bright orange colour under this fabric".

"I think it's pretty cool. Tear away when you're doing a couple of kick flips, 360s. I do have a couple of favourite flavours of Jarritos®, and when I was growing up as a kid my favourite flavour was always Tamarindo. Being a Mexican kid growing up, Tamarindo is just …"

"… in your bloodstream by the time you grow up because you eat it so much. For the people that don't know, Jarritos® means 'little jugs'. Big jug here. And there's three jugs here along with the Swoosh and the SB. Look at that. It's iconic".

"This is Ape Drums. And shout out to SNKRS for dropping off the Jarritos® SB dunks. Make sure to get yours on the app".
