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 PARKER low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A13FW740, in black canvas with frayed raw edges on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 44.
The Piece
The PARKER borrows the low, padded lines of an eighties training shoe and rebuilds them in black canvas. Every overlay is left with a raw, fraying edge, so the upper reads as though it were cut and stitched only yesterday; white laces, a woven MMY tongue label and a small red flag at the heel finish it.
Beneath sits the house's Original Sole, shaped by hand in an ivory rubber that swells around the heel and toe, with a white section set into the arch. MMY is embroidered in white across each heel counter, and the tread carries the MMY mark in a diamond-patterned field.
Old-school proportions, unravelling at the seams by design.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the embroidered heels and the printed reference inside the shoe are shown among the frames. Brush the canvas dry, clean the rubber with a soft damp cloth, and let the pair dry naturally away from direct 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.
