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 as Painted Object
Paint thrown over upper and sole alike turns the Blakey into one continuous surface, its sculpted base no longer separate from the shoe. Loud, joyful and barely worn.

A Blakey low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A14FW738: canvas spattered all over in red, blue, yellow, white and black, carried on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Labelled EU 41, with the maker's box.
The Piece
The side profile leads. Every surface, from toe cap to heel and down over the sidewall of the sole, is covered in a dense spatter of paint, so the shoe reads as a single painted object rather than an upper and a base. Under the colour sits the Blakey shape: a ribbed shell toe moulded into the melted, hand-shaped edge of the Original Sole.
Wide white laces run through the front, and the cream lining and footbed stay clean against the colour. The tongue carries the MMY tab, the insole is printed with the house box logo, and the reference and size are printed inside the shaft. Underfoot, a herringbone tread carries the MMY mark.
Mihara Yasuhiro trained in shoemaking before he built a full collection, and the Blakey is one of his defining shapes. Here it becomes a canvas in the painter's sense as well.
