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.

Low-top canvas sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A11FW702: black cotton canvas with a white rubber toe cap, set on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 46.
The Piece
Above the sole this is the classic court shoe, drawn faithfully: black canvas quarters, white contrast stitching, two metal ventilation eyelets on the inner side and thick white flat laces. Below, everything changes. The Original Sole rises in a deep white band that swells, folds and ripples along its length, as though pressed into soft clay, with a narrow black foxing line marking where canvas meets rubber.
That moulded sole is the signature of the house, cast from a hand-carved original so that the familiar silhouette reads like a sculpture of itself. The toe cap is shaped in the same spirit, softly lumpy rather than machine smooth.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the printed reference appears in the photographs. Brush the canvas dry, wipe the rubber with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and let the pair dry away from direct heat so the sole keeps its shape.
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.
