A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 low top sneaker from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, the WAYNE, reference A16FW728: white leather with a perforated toe, set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole in an aged ivory tone and laced with oversized flat laces. EU 43.
The Piece
The sole leads. The house Original Sole is moulded to look shaped by hand from softened rubber, its sidewall layered and rippled, swelling over the toe and heel. Here it carries an ivory, slightly aged tone that sits naturally against the worn white leather above.
The upper follows the lines of a classic basketball low: a perforated toe box, stitched overlays, a padded collar and a wide tongue with the MMY tab at the top. Thick white laces are tied loose and oversized. A small red tab marks the heel, and the woven WAYNE label inside the tongue gives the reference and size.
This pair has been worn and shows it honestly, which suits a shoe designed to look as if it already has a past.
