A guide for this piece: about $155, 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 Crocco Godzilla Runner by PHILIPP PLEIN, a low black sneaker with a scaled, crocodile-effect upper and the hexagonal double P emblem in light gold, offered new in eight sizes.
The Piece
PHILIPP PLEIN named this runner for the monster and built it to suit: a heavy, sculpted sole with a ridged heel, and an upper embossed with a scale pattern that reads as hide more than leather. The colourway is listed by the maker as black and light gold.
The side carries the hexagon monogram as an outlined emblem, with a small metal plate set at the base of the lacing. Laces, lining and sole are black, so the gold is the only relief. The model is sold as unisex. Each pair is brought in to order for the size chosen, so please allow extra time before dispatch from Japan.

Authenticity & Care
Offered as a new, genuine PHILIPP PLEIN pair. The Desk has assessed the model from the photographs and the accompanying description and inspects each pair on arrival before it leaves Japan. Wipe the upper with a soft dry cloth and store with shoe trees.
Delivery from Japan
Each pair is brought in to order, which adds roughly two weeks before dispatch. It is then packed by hand in Japan 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; please 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.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. More in this spirit in Amekaji and Wagara, and new pieces in Just Arrived.
