A guide for this piece: about $50, 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.

Low-top sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C12FW717: charcoal cotton canvas set on the house's sculpted Original Sole, here clouded with a soft lilac wash from toe cap to heel. Marked EU 38.
The Piece
The silhouette is the familiar court shoe, rendered in a dense charcoal canvas with tonal stitching, metal eyelets and wide, oversized flat laces that knot into generous loops across the vamp. The rubber toe cap and the sole beneath it carry a lilac tint, brushed and uneven, so the colour gathers in the folds and lifts away on the high points.
That sole is the Original Sole, cast from a hand-carved model so its walls sag and ripple like softened wax while the upper keeps its classic line. The heel of each sole is moulded with the MMY mark, and the outsole carries a diamond tread with the maker's emblem under the arch.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the moulded MMY heel mark and the reference print are shown. Brush the canvas dry, wipe the rubber gently with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and avoid harsh scrubbing so the lilac wash on the sole is kept.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
