Update 2: Tennis Shoe Boogaloo
Here’s a sampling of the DTC leather sneakers I’ve purchased in the past several months. Full price, each pair is between $129-210, but I’ve bought most of them on sale. That puts them in the same price bracket as the iconic shoes sneakerheads wait in line to get.

They’re pretty straightforward- no flashy colors or intricate visual aesthetic designs; no space-age materials; few (if any) celebrity endorsements; not connected to any major retailer or design house. So what do you actually get for these prices?
Well, the leather used to make them is a clear upgrade from what you’d find in a similarly priced Nike. It is higher quality- the same grade as is used in dress shoes, gloves and designer purses. And it is also thicker, sometimes as much as twice as thick.
The manufacturing process is also more improved, again, more like you’d find with leather dress shoes. Most tennis shoes have an upper that is glued to the sole; even the least of these is glued and also stitched down. (More expensive sneakers in this category- some costing over $1000- might also be nailed.) Some of these are fully resoleable, meaning they might last you a decade or more if properly cared for.

A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
Ah, you haven't experienced the joy of not having to pick up your stuff. Separate bathrooms are nice, but even having two sinks with ample counter space can make a huge difference. One thing I miss from living in Taiwan is because most people live in apartments and just don't have a lot of space, it is common to have shower and toilette in a room behind a door and just outside of it is the sink, vanity, medicine cabinet. Larger apartments in Taiwan and Japan will often have the toilet separated from the shower area. From an American standpoint it is a single "bathroom" in terms of functionality (shower, toilette, sink), but broken up into 2 to three areas. This setup makes a huge difference if you only have one bathroom and both have to get ready at the same time.
That said, having multiple toilettes and showers, in addition to sinks has been a very nice QOL improvement since I've moved back to the US and was able to afford it.
Perhaps we are unusual, but having a guest room has been more of a game changer than multiple bathrooms. We are not shy and never really waited in turns to use the bathroom. But for much of my career, I've often had to get on calls or web meetings with clients and co‑workers in other parts of the world. So I would be getting up from or going to bed at strange times. My wife is a light sleeper. I'm a heavy sleeper, so getting up may involve two different alarms at different parts of the room, plus an annoyed spouse shaking me. But even getting into bed, no matter how quiet I tried to be would wake her up. Having another room to sleep in when I know I'm going to have to get up very early or go to bed very late helped a lot.
