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.

The Wayne low from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08FW706, in black and off-white leather on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 44.
The Piece
The Wayne borrows its outline from the court shoes of the basketball floor: a perforated off-white toe, a black leather lace guard and eyestay, a pale side panel and a padded black collar. On its own it would read as a quiet two-tone classic.
Then the house sets it on the Original Sole. Sculpted by hand, the white rubber swells and folds around the foot as though it had been pressed into shape, so the crisp sporting silhouette sits on a base that looks moulded rather than manufactured. MMY is printed on the lace guard of each shoe and again on the heel tab, and the tongue lining carries the MMY WAYNE label with the reference.
A sporting icon, softened at the base.

Authenticity & Care

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.
