A guide for this piece: about $65, 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.

Painted from Toe to Sole
The melted looking Original Sole is the house's best known invention; here the paint runs straight across it, upper and sole together, so the pair reads as a single painted object. No two pairs fall quite the same.

Low top sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A14FW725, the Peterson23 Sputtering Low: white canvas splattered all over in red, yellow, blue and black paint, set on the house's hand sculpted Original Sole. EU 41.
The Piece
The side profile tells the whole story. The rubber Original Sole is moulded to look as though it was shaped by hand and then partly melted, its edge swelling and slumping around the toe and heel instead of running in a clean line. Here the paint carries straight over it: the splatter covers the canvas upper, the foxing and the sole wall alike, so the shoe reads as one painted object.
The Peterson23 is the house low top: a vulcanised style silhouette with a rounded toe, seven eyelet lacing and thick white flat laces. The tongue carries the MMY Footwear label and wearing instructions; the canvas lining is plain cream, with the reference and size printed inside.
Mihara Yasuhiro's Original Sole has become one of the most recognised footwear signatures from Japan, and the splatter finish makes each pair individual.
