A guide for this piece: about $58, 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 high-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW729: green and white leather with a hook-and-loop ankle strap, set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 40, with the box.
The Piece
The sole leads. In profile the Original Sole swells and folds in soft cream layers, as though the cupsole of a classic court shoe had been melted and pressed back by hand. Beneath it, a pale grey tread is cut in concentric rings.
The upper borrows from the basketball court: white leather panels with a perforated toe, framed by green leather overlays and a deep green collar. A wide strap crosses the ankle and closes by hook and loop, printed with the MMY initials; the same initials appear on the side panel and the tongue. Broad green laces finish the pair.
Bright, sporting and slightly askew, the Wayne shows how far the house will push a familiar silhouette.
