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.

Studs on a Melting Sole
A black canvas low-top armoured with stars and domes, set on a sole that looks modelled in clay and left to weather. It takes the plainest sneaker in the wardrobe and gives it a past, which is the whole of the Mihara Yasuhiro argument in one pair.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers and studded Japanese designer footwear

A studded low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15FW721: black canvas set with star and dome studs, carried on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole painted a weathered silver. Labelled EU 44.
The Piece
The studs lead. They cluster thickly at the heel and run forward along each quarter in loose rows, mixing small star rivets with pyramid and dome heads in black and silver tones. The upper is a heavy black canvas with seven pairs of eyelets and thick black flat laces; the toe cap is rubber, brushed silver to match the sole.
The sole is the signature. Its sidewall is moulded with the uneven, melted contour of a shoe modelled by hand in clay, then finished in a smoky silver that pools darker in the folds. The brown outsole carries the maker's tread. Inside, a woven Sublime meets Ridiculous tab sits at the tongue, and the reference and size are printed on the lining.
Mihara Yasuhiro built his name on reworked classics, and the Original Sole remains the clearest statement of it: a familiar canvas sneaker made to look as if it has already lived a long life.
