A guide for this piece: about $42, 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 Oliver from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A16FW705, in black cotton canvas drawn over with white hand-lettered graffiti, set on a chunky hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 38.
The Piece
The Oliver is the house's fuller, more rounded low-top, and here its black canvas has been turned into a page of doodles: loose white lettering spelling out words such as DREAM and DAY, stars, a flower and a wide grinning face, all drawn in a deliberately casual hand that wraps the toe, the quarters and the heel.
Thick black laces run through metal eyelets, a small woven flag sits at the lace stay, and the padded collar is lined in black. Underneath, the Original Sole swells in a deep, wavering band painted in smoky grey over a gum rubber tread, so the whole shoe looks pleasantly unfinished, as if it were still being sketched.
A playful, graphic pair in a smaller size.

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.
