A guide for this piece: about $47, 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 collaboration runner from MIHARA YASUHIRO and BED J.W. FORD: a deep purple upper with pale reflective swooshes, carried on a sculpted, layered sole in ivory and smoke grey. Marked EU 44.
The Piece
Where the house's court shoes keep a plain canvas top, this pair borrows the shape of a vintage running trainer. The upper combines a fine purple textile with smooth panels of the same shade, a padded collar and long tonal laces. A pale grey flash sweeps along each side and across the toe.
The sole is the event. A band of ivory rubber is stacked over a darker, smoke-grey layer, both moulded with the soft, uneven ripples that mark the Mihara hand, so the shoe seems to sit on poured wax. Underneath, a black tread with a grey heel insert carries the MMY mark.
A runner's profile, slowed to the pace of sculpture.

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.
