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.

A Court Shoe, Caught Mid-Melt

The Blakey low from MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A06FW702: an off-white cowhide shell-toe sneaker with a black heel tab, set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. EU 44, with its box.
The Piece
From the side, the Blakey looks like a familiar court shoe caught mid-melt. The white rubber sole swells and ripples along its length, and the shell toe is moulded with deep, uneven ridges, as if pressed by hand. A gum-brown outsole runs beneath it all, with a herringbone tread.
The upper is smooth natural-white cow leather, cut clean with tonal stitching and a full run of eyelets. A black leather heel tab carries MMY in white serif letters, and a small gold-foiled MMY and BLAKEY stamp sits on the lateral quarter. White flat cotton laces complete the pair.
The Original Sole is the house's best-known gesture: each one is shaped from a hand-carved model, so the waves and ridges never fall in quite the same place twice. On a white leather upper, the effect is at its most graphic.
