A guide for this piece: about $77, 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.

Rockin' Jelly Bean's Evil Valentine, printed edge to edge across a pair of canvas slip-ons from his own label Erostika, unworn and still resting in their dedicated printed box.
The Piece
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter behind some of the most recognisable lowbrow imagery of the past three decades: wide-eyed pin-up girls, devils and hot-rod monsters drawn with the polish of 1960s pulp and the attitude of underground comics. Erostika is the label through which he releases his own clothing and objects.
Evil Valentine is among his most loved pictures, and here it wraps the whole upper. A dark-haired girl with a rose tattoo leans across the quarters in hot pink and sunshine yellow, a horned black glove curling over her shoulder, while the heel panels carry a second portrait and a clawed hand. The pair sold out on release and has rarely been seen since, which makes an unworn set with its box the version collectors look for. It sits on a classic vulcanised white sole with a padded collar.

Condition grade S (new, unworn) on the Japanese scale; see Japanese condition ranks, explained.
Authenticity & Care
Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Keep the shoes boxed and away from strong light so the print stays bright.
Delivery from Japan
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.
