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.

Windows in the Canvas
Blue cut-out canvas low-top on the Original Sole, a classic shape left deliberately unfinished. The frayed windows let a second colour through, so the shoe reads as something taken apart and worn anyway.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers and deconstructed Japanese designer footwear
Condition notes
Light marks and wear from use. Scuffed toe caps and soiled sole walls. Frayed cut-outs are the intended design.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

A low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C10FW701: cobalt blue canvas opened at the sides and heel in rounded cut-out windows that show a cream inner layer, on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Tagged EU 41.
The Piece
The side profile leads. Where a plain canvas sneaker would be closed, oval windows are cut through the blue at the quarters and heel, their raw edges left to fray against the cream beneath. The white rubber toe cap, black foxing line and thick Original Sole keep the classic outline.
The heel carries the raised MMY mark in the sole, white cotton laces run through the eyelets, and the lining is printed with the reference and size.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand 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; ask anything you wish to know 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.
