A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 Raised to the Ankle
The Oliver lifts the court sneaker to the ankle and sets it on the most generous version of the Original Sole. In tobacco brown it reads warm and quiet.

The Oliver high-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15FW703: tobacco brown cotton canvas, wide white laces, and the hand-sculpted Original Sole built up in deep, rippling layers. Size EU 43.
The Piece
The Oliver takes the proportions of a low court sneaker and lifts the collar to just above the ankle, so the shoe sits somewhere between a basketball high and a chukka. The upper is a warm tobacco brown canvas, tonal stitched, with a padded collar and a woven MMY tab at the tongue.
The sole is where the eye goes. The Original Sole is modelled to look as though a vulcanised cupsole had melted and been rebuilt by hand, and on the Oliver it is especially generous: tiered ripples of white rubber wrap the whole foot and fold over the toe, set on a dark gum outsole with the house star at the forefoot and MMY moulded at the heel.
Brown makes the shoe quieter than the familiar black or white, and easier to wear with workwear, corduroy or washed denim.
