A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 Peterson low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A01FW702: black cotton canvas, white rubber toe caps and the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole, the swollen, melted-looking base that made these sneakers a cult object. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
At first glance the silhouette reads as a familiar vulcanised low-top. Then the sole gives it away: a thick white rubber unit that bulges and dips as though modelled by hand in clay, each pair cast from a sculpted original so no two profiles feel quite alike. Raw canvas edges at the collar and tongue, cream contrast stitching and silver eyelets keep the upper deliberately unfinished.
Inside, the tongue carries the MMY wearing-instructions tag with its small red flash, and the heel lining is printed with the house motto, Sublime meets Ridiculous. The heel counter is moulded with the MMY letters, and the outsole wears a diamond tread in warm brown rubber.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the reference and size printed inside the lining were confirmed in hand. Brush the canvas dry, spot clean the rubber with a damp cloth and mild soap, and keep the pair away from direct heat to protect the sculpted sole.
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.
