A guide for this piece: about $58, 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.

The Sole That Melted
A black canvas low-top of the plainest kind, set on a sole that looks half melted and hand rebuilt. The Peterson is Mihara Yasuhiro's signature joke on the classic sneaker, and it has become a classic in its own right.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer sneakers and the Original Sole line

The Peterson23 low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A14FW726: black canvas on the hand-sculpted Original Sole, with the aged, layered finish the model is known for. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
The sole leads. Seen from the side, the Original Sole looks melted and rebuilt, its edges rolling in uneven layers as if shaped by hand from wax. It is finished in a soiled cream with a grey wash across the rubber toe cap, so the shoe arrives looking lived in. The MMY initials sit in a raised badge at each heel.
Above, the upper is a classic black canvas low-top with white contrast stitching, cream flat laces and metal eyelets. A small red flag tab marks the heel, and an MMY patch sits on the tongue. Underfoot, the tread is a geometric pattern around a moulded MMY roundel.
The Peterson is the house's best-known form: a familiar canvas sneaker made strange by its base.
