🐍 Venum Topuria Set, Shin Guards, Bag, and even a Hipster Hat – A year-end gift for myself after all the hard work
😎 The Body-Hugging Venum Rashguard and Practical Fight Shorts
This time, I purchased the VENUM Topuria Unmatched Series.
Including the rashguard and fight shorts, the total was about 260,000 won,
each item costing around 80,000 to 90,000 won. I was able to easily purchase them through the
“Collections – Topuria Unmatched” menu on the official VENUM website.
The rashguard is made from a blend of approximately 90% polyester + 10% elastane,
so when worn, it naturally contracts to the body and feels incredibly snug.
Therefore, a slightly looser fit is actually ideal rather than one that’s too tight.
Additionally, shrinkage may occur after washing, so it’s good to keep that in mind when choosing a size.
🩳 Fight Shorts That Drew Admiration
The Topuria fight shorts are in a short tights style,
which felt unfamiliar at first, but once I put them on, they were surprisingly light and offered excellent mobility.
With the knees exposed, they provide a realistic feel,
and seem particularly well-suited for those who prioritize mobility and step speed.
(UFC fighters also frequently use short tights.)
Usually, fight shorts have Velcro fasteners,
which can easily cause pilling or damage to rashguards.
However, this product has an integrated structure, so I had no such worries,
and the fit was much cleaner and more convenient. This aspect was truly impressive.
🥊 The Harmony of My Chosen Shin Guards and Existing Gloves
Since I already owned VENUM gloves,
I decided to complete the set with shin guards from the same brand.
As expected from a specialized combat sports brand, the fit was excellent.
The shared shin guards at the gym
often twisted or felt loose, causing discomfort.
However, the VENUM shin guards I purchased were light and hugged my legs perfectly, which I was very satisfied with.
It was a moment where I thought, “This is Venum, indeed…”
🎒 Quiet Elite Aesthetic, Venum Bag
Honestly, I was still using a training bag I bought about 3-4 years ago.
I was quite satisfied with it because it never smelled and stayed clean, even without washing.
However, this time, I finally got a new VENUM bag.
At first, I was a bit surprised by its larger-than-expected size,
but the weight itself was very light,
and most importantly, since I’m doing muscle density training,
this weight wasn’t a burden at all.
Above all, the Venum logo emblazoned on the front of the bag was incredibly cool.
With a soft, subtle navy blue accent,
it wasn’t flashy at all; instead, it gave off a vibe of a “quiet elite athlete.”
It’s like an aesthetic hidden within simplicity. The moment I saw it, my satisfaction soared.
🧢 The Hat, A Bit Distant from My Style…
I also bought a hat.
It had a hip snapback style, exuding a hipster vibe + street mood, but
personally, it felt a bit mismatched with my style.
However… for someone who didn’t own any hats,
the VENUM brand logo alone brought me enough satisfaction.
The brand VENUM,
is more than just a product to me.
Its logo alone feels like a symbol that expresses my emotions and attitude.
💳 Total Cost Approximately 500,000 Won, But No Regrets
With this full set purchase,
the total expenditure was approximately 500,000 won.
Of course, I spread the burden with 24-month installments,
but since the bag can be used for 2-3 years, the gloves for 1-2 years, and the rashguard for over 1 year,
I consider this not an expense, but an investment for myself.
☁️ This Isn’t Dopamine Consumption, But Serotonin Consumption
What I realized through this purchase was,
this isn’t just temporary pleasure from a “splurge” (dopamine consumption), but rather
a sustained consumption that subtly builds satisfaction every time I use it,
a feeling of serotonin consumption.
My business is also doing well these days,
so I hope to be able to freely purchase more
high-quality items that express who I am
without worrying about money in the future.
I’m happy even at this moment,
how much happier can I become?
Just thinking about it fills my heart.
Itip, who witnessed my emotions that day, quietly recorded them in a diary.
VENUM is not just a brand to me.
It is a piece of armor
that embodies my quiet passion and weighty approach to life.
