A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

Torn Black, Cast Cream
Black canvas torn to reveal a paler undercloth, set on Mihara Yasuhiro's melted Original Sole with a ribbed shell toe. Destruction here is the design, carried out with care, and the shoe arrives already looking as though it has a past.

A Blakey low-top from the SS26 season of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A16FW729: black over-dyed canvas torn open in ragged patches, a ribbed shell toe and the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Tagged EU 39.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The canvas has been dyed black over a lighter base and then ripped, so frayed islands of the undercloth break through along the quarters and vamp, each edge loose with threads. Against it the shell toe and the melted sole wall read in warm cream, as if the shoe had been cast in old rubber.
A cream heel tab carries the MMY mark, cream flat laces run through seven pairs of eyelets, and the lining is printed with the reference and size.
