A guide for this piece: about $50, 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 low top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08FW706: the Wayne in grey and white leather, perforated at the toe, laced with chunky white cord and set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 41.
The Piece
The Wayne takes the shape of the classic basketball court shoe and reworks it so the silhouette looks warmed until soft and modelled back by hand. The upper is built in panels of smooth grey and white leather, with a perforated white toe box, an MMY print beneath the lacing and a white quarter panel that brightens the side view.
Below, the Original Sole swells and dips in uneven ridges along its length, finished in white over a grey tread that carries circular pivot points and the MMY logo. The tongue wears the woven MMY footwear label with its printed wearing instructions, and the lining label names the model, reference and size.
A cool, pale colourway on the most sculptural sole in Japanese design.

Delivery from Japan
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.
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.
