"What's up, y'all? I'm Kirsten Watson, a sports reporter here in Los Angeles. And today, we are here at Jackie Robinson Stadium at UCLA. And there is a special box right here, so…"

"...I think it's time for us to get into it. SNKRS just dropped this off. So let's see what's inside. Look at this packaging. Here we go. You guys ready?"

"Oh! These are the brand new 'Jackie Robinson' Nike Dunk Lows. How good are these? I mean, come on."

"They've got the Brooklyn Dodgers colors, the 42 in silver on the side. These are quotes that not only were so important 75 years ago when he broke the color barrier, but also today in 2022."

"These shoes are so comfortable and incredible. So now it is time for us to give back to the community. We are going to gift these Dunk Lows to some incredible women that are just an embodiment of what Jackie Robinson not only meant to us..."

"...but meant to the entire society. So let's go do this. Are you ready? Let's go. Hi, Kirsten. I have a special surprise for you. I'm so excited to give these..."

"...to you. Now, Nichol, look, you are the CEO of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation. You were a part of the Jackie Robinson Foundation when you were a young girl. What was that like? And what's it like hearing his legacy today? To develop such an amazing relationship…"

"...with Rachel Robinson and Sharon Robinson and David Robinson, it's so special. To think that 75 years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier is phenomenal."

"And all of his quotes, right? "A life is not important except for the impact it had in other lives," and so many others. To your point, it's walking in purpose. It really is. I hope you love your shoes. I can't wait to see you rocking them at all of the Dodger events. I absolutely love them. It's going to be amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you."

"Hi, Sonya. Hey, good morning. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm Kirsten. Hi Kirsten. It's so nice to meet you. I'm here with Sonya Pankey, the eldest granddaughter of Jackie Robinson and the daughter of Jackie Robinson, Jr."

"And we are going to get into the details of this first look of the sneaker. How amazing is this? I don't think there's a detail that was missed on this sneaker. I absolutely love it. I love the color."

"The 75th anniversary means so much to me and to my family, but I think keeping the legacy of my father and grandfather moving forward, it's really about living life with purpose. Wow, Nike, you outdid yourself here."

"And to all of you guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us on this episode of The Drop-Off. Make sure you cop these. We are celebrating the new 'Jackie Robinson' Dunk Lows. You guys got to have these. So I will see you next time."
