A guide for this piece: about $29, 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.

Kenzo derby shoes, style M199, in glossy black scrawled all over with white handwriting, set on a white-edged lugged sole. Marked size 9, in good condition with soiling to the insoles recorded.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Here the most formal shoe in the wardrobe is given a joke, as if someone had written notes across it with a paint pen.
The upper is a high-shine black with a plain-toe derby shape and open lacing, and it carries a loose white script of words, letters and slashes, a different pattern on each shoe. The sole unit is built in two layers, a clean white band above a deep navy lugged outsole with a defined heel, and the interior is tan with the Kenzo Paris name stamped into the insole.
Marked size 9. Measured: sole length 31.4 cm (12.4 in), sole width 12.1 cm (4.8 in), heel height 3.5 cm (1.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 mm.

Authenticity & Care
The insole stamp, the outsoles, the heels and both sides of each shoe are photographed. Wipe the upper with a soft damp cloth, avoid rubbing the printed script, and keep the pair on shoe trees away from heat.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
