A guide for this piece: about $42, 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 ROSY from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference DO-B047: a court-style low-top drawn out into a sharp pointed toe, in grey and cream leather on an aged cupsole. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The ROSY takes the panelled basketball low everyone knows and stretches its toe into a long, tapering point, closer to a winklepicker than a trainer. Perforated cream leather covers the toe box and quarter panels, framed by smooth grey overlays with contrast stitching; MMY is stitched into the grey heel counter and pressed into the side of the sole.
Wide cream laces, a woven MMY tongue label and a red-flagged heel tab finish the upper. The cupsole is tinted a sun-faded ivory, as if the pair had already lived a long season, with a grey rubber tread beneath its ringed pivot pattern.
A familiar shape, filed to a point and quietly aged.
