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.

Familiar at a Distance, Wrong Up Close
A plain black low top pushed off balance by ribbon-wide laces, a towering pull tab and a heavy white sole: two Japanese labels sharing a taste for distortion.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer collaborations and sculpted-sole sneakers

The Roll-Tongue Staining low sneaker, reference C14FW708, made by MIHARA YASUHIRO in collaboration with beauty:beast: black canvas on a heavy, sculpted white sole, laced with oversized flat white laces and finished with tall pull tabs at the heel. Size EU 42.
The Piece
Two Japanese labels with a shared taste for distortion meet here. The upper is cut low and plain in black canvas, with a rounded toe and a cleanly bound collar, so that the eye goes straight to what surrounds it.
The laces are the first surprise: broad, flat and bright white, crossed loosely over the vamp and left to tumble in big loops, as if the shoe had been dressed in a hurry. At the heel, a tall black pull tab rises well above the collar. Below, a thick white sole wraps the whole foot, its sidewall softly ridged and its outsole deeply lugged, with the house oval moulded into the tread.
The result is a shoe that looks familiar at a distance and slightly wrong up close, which is precisely the point of both labels.

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.
