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.

An orange canvas low-top from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C12FW718, built on the hand-sculpted Original Sole and laced with thick matching cord. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The upper is cut from a dense cotton canvas in a warm, saturated orange, with a padded collar and a small woven MMY tab stitched to the outer quarter. Oversized orange laces run through metal eyelets and gather in loose, generous loops over the instep, in the exaggerated proportions the house favours.
Below sits the signature of the label: the Original Sole, a rubber unit sculpted by hand so its sidewalls ripple and slump as though poured into place. The heel of each shoe carries a moulded MMY plaque, and the navy outsoles are pressed with a diamond tread.
A bright colour set on the most recognisable sole in the archive.

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.
