A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 Sneaker Cast in Melted Rubber
The plainest of canvas low tops, set on a sole sculpted to look as if it had already lived a long life. This pair has since earned its own wear on top of the house's invented one, which suits the idea perfectly.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and the Original Sole

Low top canvas sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15FW722: black canvas uppers set on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole, with MMY embossed at each heel. EU 43.
The Piece
The sole leads. Seen from the side, the thick rubber foxing does not run straight and clean as on a factory sneaker; it is modelled to look melted and reshaped, with ridges and soft folds that read as if the shoe had been cast from a well worn original. This is the Original Sole that made the house's footwear instantly recognisable, and here it has gained a real patina of its own.
The upper is a classic low top in black canvas, with contrast white stitching, five eyelets a side and white flat laces. The toe cap is rubber, worn to a soft ecru. At the back, MMY is moulded into each heel counter, and the outsole carries a deep, chunky tread.
The shape is familiar; the sole turns it into a piece of sculpture you can walk in.
