Welcome to Kevin's In His Room Podcast!
Yes, yes, yes.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
So, as you mentioned before, you are now trying to find the best pair of sneakers.
Yes.
Comfortable for walking.
Yeah.
And there are so many listeners kindly sent us some recommendations.
Yes.
And it's from Chibottaboo.
Okay, Chibottaboo.
And this is the Nike Air Max 90.
I've actually tried that on before.
Oh really?
Yeah.
What was that?
The ankle is really special.
If you look at the design, it actually really is easy to wear.
You see there's a, like a, like a, like a stopper, like a plastic stopper for the ankle
on the back of the sneaker.
You see that?
You see that?
Right.
What that does is it easily comes down.
It comes down easily.
Wow.
And the plastic under that plastic bar is really soft.
So like you just have to push down that plastic and it sort of becomes like a sandal.
Wow.
And then when you, when the ankle is locked in place, the bar comes up and then it locks
your feet.
Wow.
It's really easy to wear on and off.
And I thought that was like innovative, you know?
It's really new.
Yeah.
I didn't know there was a sneaker like this.
Yeah.
It was, yeah, it was a, it was a real innovation I thought.
I really am in the journey of looking for a really nice sneaker that I can walk around
every day.
Have you found the one?
I have not actually.
But I have been going to stores and trying on shoes, but like I get so tired.
Of what?
There's so many options.
Yeah.
And I get so tired of like bending down and wearing shoes and different sizes and there's
more and there's like, I get, there's so much new information when you go to the store,
like there's sales items.
Okay.
And like you start losing track of what you wanted to have in the very beginning.
And like, I get so tired.
I was in a shopping mall the other day, been there for like four hours and yeah, four hours
looking for shoes and like, I'm sure the store clerk was like, what the hell is he doing?
And didn't buy it.
03:00
Didn't buy it.
Nothing.
Yeah.
I got lost in my mind.
I forgot what I wanted to have because there were so many options that, that, that, that
were thrown at me.
Yeah.
You know?
Right.
And I was like, okay, maybe I needed to take a step back, you know, go back to my zone
and really, really recognize what I really want.
Not what's in front of me because it has a sale, it has a sale sticker on it.
It has a 50% off sticker on it.
Like I, yeah.
So I, uh, mentally and physically I get tired.
Wow.
Like I, I'm not really successful yet with buying the perfect sneaker.
Okay.
But you still want, you are still wanting.
Yes I do.
Yeah, I do.
I am, I am.
I am still.
So you're not, it's not finished.
It's not yet.
The journey's not over yet.
It's not over yet.
So um, and I, I, um, this happens with all of the things that I wanted to buy.
Like I sometimes want a backpack.
Um, because I'm kind of into backpack.
Yeah.
You, I know you love backpacks.
I look for a bag.
I kind of have this like, Oh, I want to have a backpack that's good for like something.
Right.
And then like, I go into the store and then I get so many new options.
Oh, this could be a good backpack.
Oh, this is a good backpack.
Oh, this is a sale.
That's nice.
And like I, I get lost in where I wanted to, where I wanted to buy.
Wow.
And then I get tired.
My brain, it's, it's frustration kicks in and like, Oh, I just want to sit down and just
like, yeah.
The internet is so much, it's such a, so much better place because I take control of what
I wanted to see.
Whereas when you go into a store, there's a backpack right next to you that takes you
off course.
Wow.
So, um, I get tired a lot easily with everything that I wanted to buy.
And you stop shopping.
Yeah.
Because I get so tired.
So I thought I always go back to the strategy of like, like pinpoint what you want to buy
online and then go to a store, try it on just the item that you pinpointed.
And then if you like it, go buy it.
Okay.
Not, don't, don't, don't.
That's a nice strategy.
Yeah.
That's, I thought I should go with that.
But the thing is you can't do it with the shoes.
Like how it fits in your feet plays such a big role when it comes to shoes.
Unlike backpacking, backpacking really doesn't make a really difference.
Like the design has a huge, takes a huge part.
So like you can figure that out through the screen, but like you can't really figure that
out when it comes to shoes.
06:00
You have to put it on.
So I have so many lists of shoes that I have to put on and then just, oh god.
Wow.
That's tough.
Yeah.
But it's also a good thing to, to, to try to find the very best one.
Yeah.
And spend, spend your time and energy finding the best one.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
If you get tired, then it's a little tough when you do shopping.
Yeah.
Wow.
Is there any piece of fashion item that you want to buy right now?
A piece of fashion item?
Um, um, no.
Um, sneakers maybe?
Okay.
Yeah, sneakers.
Sneakers maybe?
I want black sneakers actually.
I want the same as you.
Oh really?
Black sneakers.
Oh, oh no.
White sneakers maybe.
White sneakers maybe, okay.
Or maybe a gray.
A gray.
Colorful.
Colorful.
Maybe.
Maybe a sandal maybe?
Yes, a sandal maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, so is it, um, when you buy, when you, what's the process that you go through when
you, you want to buy a white sneaker?
What's the process?
White sneaker?
Yeah.
How do you, what do you do?
I go to the sneaker shop and look around and if I find that, I will buy.
You know I'm that kind of guy.
Right.
So you already have some sort of a.
Image.
Ideal.
I do.
One.
I do.
So you're not, it's not fuzzy at all.
Like there's no room for, oh this could be it.
Oh this also could be it.
There's no room for other options.
Not that much, not that much.
I have that, like when I say white sneaker, the shape is like this and the sole is like
this and I want to have little colorful pointed dot actually.
Okay.
That's what I want.
So if I find the one, I kind of go.
Okay.
But if I don't meet that one, there's no room for me to, to, to, you know, oh this must
be good.
Right.
So yours is already narrowed down so you don't really hesitate.
I will not get tired.
Which is, yeah, I think that's a really, that's a better strategy I think.
Yeah.
Like I think it's, mentally.
Yeah.
But you know, sometimes I talk with a vending person and you know, if conversation was good
and I felt comfortable and if she or he recommended this and yeah, over it.
09:07
Sometimes that happens to me.
Right, right, right.
That's kind of fun to me so no problem.
Uh huh.
Alright.
So, um, it actually doesn't have to be black anymore.
Oh.
It can be any color.
So the point is if it's comfortable when you walk.
Yeah.
That's the only, only.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
That is so wide.
I've just said that I needed to narrow down my target.
Well, but there's, there are so many shoes that is comfortable.
I know, I know.
Shoes are supposed to be comfortable.
You don't have any colors that you want to like, black is good.
Black is good.
Yeah.
And so is white and gray and navy, right?
They're all good.
Yeah, they're all good.
But now, what color do you want?
Now?
Now?
Yeah, for the next one.
I don't have a specific color.
Wow.
Then the journey is going to be tough.
Yeah, I know.
You're going to start, you know, diving into that.
The wide selection of possibilities.
Yeah.
Choose ocean and.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know, right?
Wow.
Do you have any, uh, the land that you specify?
No.
Okay.
I don't actually.
Right.
I'm cool with the well known brands and I'm also cool with the under underdog brands that
are actually really comfortable, but not many people have figured it out.
I also love those two.
Okay.
So like.
Do you have any price range that you have to, you know?
I would say.
Each month to sanmon.
That's really.
You can buy any shoes then.
Right.
So wide.
Wow.
Okay.
What about like I'm going to give you some, I've here some shoes as a present.
What do you feel?
Like, do you put that?
I mean, you will be happy about that.
Yeah, of course I'll be happy.
Oh, really?
What do you mean?
Like that's my choice.
Like for example, I got red and I got you.
And uh, oh, okay.
Red and must be comfortable to walk with.
But how do you feel that, you know?
Um, I, I would want to choose them.
Yeah.
Right.
12:00
I would want to choose them.
So it's right.
Then like a gift adds a different perspective.
It adds a different aspect.
Okay.
Right.
It gives itself a, it has a feeling to it.
So I guess it's enjoyable in a different way.
But uh, okay.
So you have, it's you have to have to find the one.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
I hope you will find that the best one.
Thank you.
And thank you guys for sending all those requests.
Yeah, that makes you.
No, no, no, it really does narrow down.
Like, I think it like, like may sound send it to me.
Uh, now I think now it sounds send it to me.
I think we have another one.
I'm going to give it a shout out here for thanking them for the, um, I've also had, um,
but didn't they make you see the silver Zaiju M3 send it to me?
What was that question?
You said, no, I mean, there's so many, you know, choices.
So didn't they make you being in lust?
Actually not this really, right.
Narrows down the option of choices for me without the recommendation.
I have to try on everything.
But with the recommendation, I could pinpoint to try on, I could pinpoint the consideration.
Yeah.
To the ones that they sent me.
So like that makes it, that makes it so much easier.
So it does, it does, it does.
So thanks for the recommendations.
Bye bye.
