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.

The Wayne from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW710: a mid-top basketball silhouette in green leather with metallic gold panels and a hook-and-loop ankle strap, set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The Wayne takes the outline of an early eighties court shoe, the perforated toe box, the stacked overlays, the strap across the ankle, and renders it in deep bottle-green leather against panels of soft metallic gold. Oversized white laces run loose through the eyelets, and the woven MMY tab sits at the top of each tongue.
Beneath it all is the Original Sole, here in its fuller form: a thick white rubber unit that swells and folds along its length as if softened in the sun and pressed back into shape by hand. Underfoot, the familiar pivot circles of a basketball tread have been redrawn with MMY at the centre. The tongue label names the model, WAYNE, with the reference A09FW710 and the size.
A court classic, gilded and set on clay.
