A guide for this piece: about $50, 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 two-tone leather court shoe with perforated vamps and MMY embroidery, lifted onto the house's rippling hand-sculpted sole so the familiar silhouette reads as something half melted.

The WAYNE low top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08FW706: smooth grey and off-white leather panels, perforated vamps, MMY stitched at the eyestay and heel, all set on a white hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 45.
The Piece
WAYNE borrows the clean lines of a basketball court shoe. The upper is built in two tones of smooth leather: a pale off-white base with fine perforations across the toe, framed by grey overlays at the heel, the eyestay and the swoop along each side. MMY is embroidered in white on the eyestay and across the heel.
Beneath it sits the white Original Sole, its sidewall rippling as if moulded by hand and left to slump before it set. The grey outsole carries concentric circles and MMY moulded at the waist.
A court classic in outline; a sculpted base underneath.
