Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello, good morning.
Another good morning, sir.
Yep, you're sweating today.
It's a little hot, you know?
It's like what, 30 degrees outside?
30, 31, 2?
It's like very sunny, happy day today.
Very sunny day, yeah.
But it's humid too.
Ah, really?
Very moist outside.
Like when I woke up today, like this morning, woke up this morning, I was like, wow, what a great day.
Oh yeah?
What a sunny day.
Uh huh.
Look at the cloud.
Yeah, there's...
No cloud.
Yeah.
All blue and everything.
It's great.
The beetles are, you know, fucking and...
They're not fucking, they're not fucking, they're just doing their thing.
Yeah.
Having their time, you know?
Yeah.
Like, very lively.
Yeah.
Doing their job.
Yep.
So, I came here with a new sneaker of mine.
Yes, I saw it.
Yeah.
A Nike sneaker that I bought recently.
It looks great, actually.
It looks pretty good, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
It's a hippy space is the name that Nike gave them.
What?
Hippy space?
Hippy space.
So, is this kind of hippy style?
I guess, I guess it's a hippy style.
I'm not sure if it does look like hippy.
I don't even know what a hippy style is though, but they named it hippy space.
Okay, you know.
It did look like Buzz Lightyear, you know?
Buzz Lightyear.
You know, from Toy Story?
Yeah.
Yeah, that blue stuff, the blueish and like the white.
Yeah.
Smudged white.
Uh-huh.
And that style, combination of colors.
Yeah, to me it looked like.
So, I do understand space, but I don't know what hippy is.
But color isn't what I want to talk about.
I want to talk about size here.
Size, okay.
Yeah, you know, I bought the shoe online, Nike online.
Oh, okay, online.
And yeah, I thought, I bought a 26.5.
Okay.
And I tried it at the store.
I bought a Nike.
The real store?
Exactly, yeah, like the outlet store.
I tried on a Nike 26.5.
Okay.
And it was fine, I guess.
But yeah, so I bought the 26.5.
The same shoes?
Different model.
Different model.
Yeah, okay.
Different model.
But, you know, they're the same makers.
Exactly.
Same manufacturer, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I tried on 26.
It was a little bit tight on the pinky.
Okay.
You know, I wore it yesterday.
I walked for like five hours.
And the pinky was, it got a little bit red.
Wow.
Yeah.
So.
03:00
Well, you bought 26?
I bought 26.5.
Okay.
Yeah.
But I'm hoping that it would stretch.
Yeah.
Because it's hippy style.
Exactly.
It would be like.
Hippy style, right?
Yeah.
That's the reason why it's going to stretch.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'm assuming that the shoes that were sold in stores were, you know, already stretched
after so many people have already worn it.
Really?
That's what I'm assuming.
Yeah, but wasn't that like new shoes?
No, that was like.
Have you ever run into an Nike outlet before?
Nike outlet?
Like the one in Odaiba, like the one in like Machida?
Yeah.
The whole outlet store, like big up store.
Like a.
Nike shop in it.
Oh, no, no, no.
I mean like Nike factory, I think.
Nike factory.
No.
Like you enter and then the left side's woman, right side's men.
Oh.
And there's like.
Special shop?
Yeah, it's a shop run by Nike.
Okay.
And then and from the store is they they sell the clothes and then the back of the store,
it's all shoes and there's like four racks, each men and women.
And yeah, there's like two or three or two, three, four Nike employees walking around.
No, never.
I've never been those.
Is the outlet store?
Yeah, it's a discount, I guess.
Oh, it's a Nike discount.
It's a Nike discount.
Sorry.
And there's I think there's like two, one or two each size.
One or two stocks each size.
So like if it's a 26, there's only like 20, two pairs of like 26 sixes.
So a lot of people would wear that and try it on.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I'm assuming that's that, you know, what you find in the stores already been worn by
many other people.
So I'm hoping that it would stretch and be comfortable.
So I tried to change it, you know, since I bought it online.
It told me that you can change the size once.
Once?
Right.
Yeah.
So I tried to do that.
Tried 10 to 27.
But they sent it back to me saying that it wasn't the original condition that we sent
it to you.
Ah, what do you mean?
Maybe they.
So it could be that I cut off the label.
But it's just a little, you know, plastic little, I cut that little plastic thingy, you
know, that ring, plastic thin ring, you know, that anyone can tag in.
But or I walked my front.
What do you call those lawn?
No, like front.
There's a there's a concrete, concrete aisle in front of my door.
I just walked there.
There's nothing dirty.
Just all concrete, right?
06:00
Clean concrete.
That's what I did.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
But it's just they just they just sent it back to me saying it wasn't the original condition.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Maybe cutting off the tag, maybe.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Possibly.
I then I tried to sell that in Merukari.
Okay.
And and I listed it for like 48 hours.
Okay.
I got two likes and no sales.
So I gave up.
Yeah.
And yeah.
Okay.
I I'm now using it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, let's just hope it will be like a little stretch.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It will be.
Is your shoe is your feet wider than most retail products?
Yeah.
Yeah, mine too.
Wider, but not longer, actually.
My feet.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's like short but wide.
Yeah.
And also like very high actually.
This is very high.
The core.
Yeah.
Is very high.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
So every time I buy any shoes, we need I need to be careful about the size.
Yeah, but there's no like shoes like completely fit to my feet actually.
So always like a little longer than my feet.
Maybe check out my shoes.
My shoes.
It's like it's the the fabric used around on the top.
It's all like then you know what those are like like little like stretchable fabric.
They're not like normal sneakers.
It's like stretchable fabric.
I don't know what you call them.
But okay, they're they're they're easily adjust.
They're easily adjusted to whatever your.
Okay.
If it's very high like this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So maybe you want to check that out.
Yeah.
Because mine like size would be like 25 or 25.5.
Or sometimes six.
Those.
So they'll be great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, with that high core.
Mm hmm.
You said that you had a brick and stock.
Yeah.
Inner sole.
Right.
Yeah.
When you apply that, wouldn't it get higher?
A little bit.
But okay, not that much.
Not that much.
Not that much.
And also makes me like makes shoes little less longer.
Mm hmm.
So we'll fit to my feet actually.
Oh, really?
Makes it like the length.
Length gets longer.
Shorter.
Shorter.
And that helps.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:00
Really?
Okay.
Mm hmm.
Wow.
But it's shoes looks great actually.
Thank you.
The look is.
Yeah.
Is my I'm I'm satisfied with the look.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If only they fit.
Yeah.
I should have gotten 27.
Yeah.

Well, that's all.
Okay.
