A guide for this piece: about $81, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A new pair of the Gel Lyte V made by Asics with Comme des Garcons Shirt, in black and white.
The Piece
Black mesh and suede are crossed by the white stripes of the maker, on a white midsole and black outsole. The pair is 27.5 cm and comes with its box and tag.
Comme des Garcons and Asics
Rei Kawakubo started Comme des Garcons in Tokyo in 1969 and established it as a company in 1973. A menswear line followed in 1978, and in 1981 the label made its first show in Paris, where black, distressed cloth and unfinished seams unsettled the critics of the day.
Asics traces its origins to the shoe business Kihachiro Onitsuka set up in Kobe in 1949; in 1977 Onitsuka merged with two other firms to form ASICS, its name taken from the Latin anima sana in corpore sano. This Gel Lyte V for Comme des Garcons Shirt keeps the runner in black mesh and suede with the maker's white stripes. More of the house is gathered in our Comme des Garcons edit, and other rare pairs wait in the sneaker vault.
