A guide for this piece: about $46, 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.

Wax Cooling
A plain skate-shoe upper in a muted brown, so that all attention falls to the sole: an off-white wall that folds like wax caught mid-drip.
Best for: Wearers who want the Original Sole in a quiet, earthy colour
Condition notes
Light signs of wear only; the smudged sidewall is the house's aged finish.

An Original Sole low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C12FW718, in smoky brown cotton canvas with wide flat laces, set on the house's hand-sculpted sole with its softly aged finish. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
The silhouette is the plainest of skate shoes: a low vamp, five eyelets, a padded collar. Everything then happens underneath. The off-white rubber wall rises and folds around the foot like molten wax that has cooled mid-drip, its edges smudged in the deliberate, worn-in way the house gives to its soles, so the pair reads as already lived in.
The canvas is a muted brown with a grey cast, stitched tone on tone, and the oversized flat laces in a matching taupe give the toe a soft, generous bow. Underneath runs a navy diamond tread with the house mark at the waist.
A quiet colour, chosen to let the sole speak.

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.
