A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 Hank Low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A05FW702: a cobalt blue canvas upper set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole, the rubber poured and moulded so it seems to melt at the edges. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The Hank takes the familiar low-top court shoe and lets it soften. The upper is a bright cobalt canvas with tonal stitching, a pale toe bumper, a cream lining and long cream cotton laces tied loose. Everything above the sole is plain on purpose.
The sole is the statement. The house's Original Sole is moulded to look hand-shaped, with uneven ridges and a slumped, rounded edge, as if the white rubber had been warmed and pressed by thumb. The toe caps and sidewalls carry grey smudges and wear that sit easily with that molten profile. Underneath, a brown herringbone tread runs heel to toe.
A simple court shoe, standing on sculpture.

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.
