A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 Melted Sole in Mint
The Hank is the Original Sole at its purest: a plain canvas low-top whose foxing seems to have softened and set again. In mint green the shoe loses its seriousness and gains a lightness that black and white versions never quite have.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers in less common colours

The Hank low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A05FW702: mint green canvas, a rubber toe cap and cream laces, set on the hand-sculpted white Original Sole. Size EU 41.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The Original Sole is the house signature, a vulcanised sole reimagined as if it had been softened and pressed back into shape by hand: the foxing swells, folds and ripples around the shoe like poured wax. In bright white against mint canvas, every undulation reads clearly.
The upper follows the classic low-top pattern. A row of metal eyelets carries wide cream laces; the toe is capped in white rubber with a pale beige bumper strip; and the collar is lined in natural canvas. The initials MMY are moulded into each heel, and the tread below is a deep diamond pattern.
The colour is the quiet surprise, a soft mint that sits between sage and spearmint, easy with denim, white or black. It is one of the most recognisable silhouettes in contemporary Japanese footwear, here in a shade seen far less often than black or white.
