A guide for this piece: about $47, 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.

WAYNE low-top sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08FW706: saturated yellow leather with black panels and oversized yellow laces, set on the house's sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
WAYNE takes the hardwood basketball low as its model. The upper is built from smooth yellow leather with matte black panels across the vamp and quarters and a padded collar; the heel counter is printed MMY in bold black capitals, with a smaller MMY mark on the side. Wide flat laces in matching yellow keep the colour story loud and simple.
The cupsole of the original is replaced by the Original Sole, cast from a hand-carved model so that its white walls swell, fold and ripple as though moulded in wax. Underneath, a grey rubber outsole carries the pivot-circle tread of a court shoe, so the sneaker reads correctly from below while its profile has been gently melted.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the inner WAYNE label and the printed MMY heels are shown. Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth and feed it with a neutral cream now and then; clean the sole gently and let the pair dry away from direct heat.
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.
