A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

A Canvas Boot on a Molten Base
The Peterson is Mihara Yasuhiro's answer to the plain canvas sneaker: keep the upper simple, then set it on a sole that looks hand modelled and half melted. In all black, with a zip for easy wear, it becomes something close to a boot.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers and dark Japanese designer footwear

High-top sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, model Peterson23, reference A14FW728: black canvas uppers with an inner side zip, set on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole in black. EU 46.
The Piece
The sole is the signature. Moulded to look as though it were shaped by hand and then left to melt slightly in the sun, the black Original Sole rises in thick, uneven layers around the foot, with a rounded rubber toe cap sitting over the front. Seen in profile, it gives a plain canvas boot the weight of a sculpture.
The uppers are black canvas, cut high to the ankle with eight pairs of eyelets and long black laces. A zip runs up the inner side so the shoes can be stepped into without unlacing, and a small cream MMY tab is stitched at the top of each collar. Underneath, the outsole carries a geometric tread with oval MMY marks.
The reference A14FW728 and size 46 are printed inside the tongue.
