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 Wayne low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW730: mustard-yellow leather with charcoal overlays on the hand-sculpted Original Sole, a basketball-court silhouette set on the house's melted, clay-like base. Marked EU 41.
The Piece
The Wayne borrows the clean lines of a classic court sneaker, then exaggerates every one. Yellow leather forms the quarters, heel and collar; a deep charcoal leather toe panel, perforated for air, sweeps back into a bold side stripe. Fat yellow laces run through tonal eyelets, and the padded collar is lined in honeycomb yellow mesh.
Below sits the Original Sole in cream rubber, swelling and folding as though modelled by hand, with a grey cupsole tread underfoot. MMY is embroidered in black across each heel, and the reference and model name are printed on a label inside the tongue.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the reference, model name and size on the tongue label were confirmed in hand. Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth, feed it now and then with a neutral cream, 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.
