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.

Black on Black, Loudly
Everything about this pair is pushed a little too far: the flap that swallows the laces, the rows of stitching, the sole that ripples like poured rubber. Kept entirely in black, the excess turns sculptural rather than showy.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer sneakers who prefer statement soles in a quiet colour

Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO low-top sneakers, reference A14FW701: black leather uppers stitched in rows, an oversized fold-over tongue flap with an MMY badge, and a deep, studded rubber sole. EU 42.
The Piece
The flap leads. A wide panel of pebbled black leather folds down over the laces like a strap, carrying a small black badge stamped MMY beside the sunburst emblem in white. Beneath it, thick black laces run through a padded collar, and the house label is printed on the tongue lining.
The uppers are smooth black leather, stitched in parallel rows along the toe and quarters so the shoe reads almost like quilted padding. The heel carries an embossed tab and a round sunburst patch. The sole is the real drama: a chunky black rubber unit with rounded studs across the tread and a wall that bulges and ripples around the foot, finished with a small logo plate at the arch.
Exaggerated in form, entirely black, and quieter than its proportions suggest.
