A guide for this piece: about $46, 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.

The CHARLES low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A13FW707: ecru leather signed in black script on the outer side, finished with a black heel tab and set on the sculpted Original Sole with a smoky, aged patina. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The CHARLES borrows the clean lines of the classic leather court sneaker, a low plain upper, a row of small perforations on each side and a contrasting heel tab, then lets the house's sculptural instincts take over below. The name Charles runs across the outer quarter in a looping black signature, as if written by hand.
The Original Sole is cast from a hand-carved model, so its walls bulge and fold like poured wax, and here the rubber carries a smudged, smoky tone that settles into every ripple, giving the pair an aged, found look. Wide pale laces knot over the vamp; the outsole is patterned with a fine dot tread.
