A guide for this piece: about $62, 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 Blakey in Shadow
With sole, upper and laces all in black, the Blakey's sculpted base becomes a matter of silhouette rather than contrast. One small gold badge is the only signal.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers who prefer a tonal, everyday pair

A Blakey low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A06FW702, in tonal black: a glossy coated upper, black laces and a black hand-sculpted Original Sole, lit only by a gold MMY Blakey badge at the heel. Labelled EU 43, with the maker's box.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The ribbed shell toe and the melted, hand-shaped sidewall of the Original Sole are cast in the same black as the upper, so the sculpted base reads as part of one dark object rather than a contrast. A small gold foil badge, MMY over BLAKEY, sits on the outer quarter by the heel.
The upper is a smooth coated material with a soft sheen, cut in the classic court shoe pattern with tonal stitching. Wide black laces run through the front. Inside, the footbed is printed with the house box logo, and the reference and size are printed in white at the shaft. Underfoot, a herringbone tread carries the MMY mark.
Mihara Yasuhiro trained in shoemaking before he built a full collection, and the Blakey remains one of his defining shapes; in all black it is at its most wearable.
