A guide for this piece: about $67, 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.

Khaki canvas covered in white pen-stroke graffiti, sitting on the soft stacked ridges of the Oliver sole. It has the easy charm of a school notebook margin, made permanent and put on a pedestal of hand-sculpted rubber.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers who prefer print over hardware

The Oliver low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A16FW705: khaki canvas drawn over in white graffiti line work, set on a deep cream Original Sole. Labelled EU 43.
The Piece
The print leads. Every panel of the olive khaki canvas is covered in loose white outline lettering and doodles, with words such as DREAM and a smiling face legible along the quarters, as if a pen had been run over the shoe in one sitting. Cream flat laces thread through low-set eyelets, and the MMY tab sits at the tongue.
The Oliver sits lower and rounder than the Peterson, and its hand-sculpted Original Sole is thick and softly layered, stacked in rolling ridges like clay pressed by hand. The finish here is a clean cream. The brown outsole carries a diamond tread with the house sun emblem and MMY lettering. Reference and size are printed on the lining.
It is a playful reading of the house idea: the familiar canvas sneaker, reworked so that it looks lived in and written on before it is ever worn.
