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.

A brown canvas low-top from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15FW704, set on a deep, tiered version of the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The upper is cut in a warm tobacco-brown cotton canvas with tonal topstitching, a padded collar and a rounded toe, laced with wide white cord through white eyelets. A woven MMY flag sits at the lateral quarter and a printed MMY label crowns each tongue.
The sole is where this pair departs from the classic outline: a thick Original Sole, sculpted by hand in white rubber and built up in rippling tiers that step out from the foot, finished underneath with a brown outsole.
A fuller, more architectural reading of the house sole.

Authenticity & Care

Brush dust from the canvas and sole ridges with a soft dry brush and let the pair dry naturally away from heat.
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.
