"Boxes? Got a package, Syd. Let's check it out."

"Hey, what's up guys? My name is Sydney.
I'm Luca, here at Bodega in Los Angeles, California. Nike SNKRS just dropped off a couple of boxes for us, and we're going to check out what's inside. The OG box. Damn."

"Paper is fire. Keep it clean. SNKRS just dropped off the Air Force 1 Color of the Month, it's the Anniversary Edition."

"And here we have the brown colorway for the month of September. Yeah. Got a nice little hit on the tongue, comes with a toothbrush, because you got to keep a all-white clean, even if there's some brown on there. But yeah, I just think this colorway is perfect kind of going into fall, coming out of the summer months."

"I think it's educating new sneaker enthusiasts about a more retro look on the Air Force 1. Yeah, especially bringing back the OG box, the paper. Absolutely. Getting them informed about the toothbrush, keep it clean."

"I mean, these are crazy, brown colorway, sneaker classic.
Leather. Leather's insane. Buttery. I think even though the shoe kind of was born on the East Coast, or…"

"…got its popularity there, in any metropolitan city, I think this shoe would be popular because it's just such a classic. I think the most important thing to take away for the next generation is just that it's a classic silhouette. It's never going to go away. It can be played with…"

"…it can be worn with new things and elevated in that way, but it is what it is for a reason, and I think it's always been a special shoe."

"Not only did SNKRS bring us a couple pairs of the Air Force 1, but they gave us two more to bring to our friends over at HavASole, so we're going to go drop those off right now."

"Hey, what's up? How you doing? Good, how are you? This is amazing. SNKRS just dropped off some shoes. My name is Rikki. I am the founder of HavASole. We're an organization that provides footwear to underserved communities."

"Oh, I remember this box. Ah, dude. These are sick."

"We've done some work with you guys in the past, and we've done sneaker drives and been able to invite the community into your store, and they bring some of the most incredible donations. So…"

"…that's what I think about when I think of LA and the sneaker community. I think what means the most to me right now is this accessory that says "Since 1982", because let me show you something."

"I have that same tattoo on my arm. Wow. So when we drop off a pair to somebody else, we hope that it is memorable, we hope that the experience is special for them."

"That feeling of having a new pair of shoes, there's just nothing like it. I'm Luca. And I'm Sydney. We're from Bodega, LA. My name is Rikki with HavASole."

"We just want to say thank you to SNKRS for bringing us the Anniversary Edition of the Air Force 1. And this is The Drop-Off for the September Color of the Month Air Force 1."
