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.

The Hank Low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A05FW702: red cotton canvas, white laces and a natural toe cap, set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole that gives the house sneaker its unmistakable silhouette. Size EU 42.
The Piece
Seen in profile, the shoe explains itself. A classic low basketball upper in saturated red canvas, contrast stitched in white, rides on a sole that looks as though a vulcanised original had been melted, dripped and moulded back into shape by hand. The rubber swells over the toe, folds at the sidewall and thickens towards the heel, where the initials MMY are moulded into each counter.
The natural toe guard and ecru lining keep the nod to vintage court shoes clear; the sole makes it sculptural. Red is the boldest of the Hank colourways and the one that shows the form best: the white rubber reads almost as a plinth beneath the upper.
It wears easily with denim, workwear or loose tailoring.
