A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

Hardware on a Melted Sole
The softest shape in Mihara Yasuhiro's vocabulary, the hand-sculpted sole, meets the hardest: rows of silver cones at toe and heel. Worn in and greyed, the pair already has the lived-in look the house intends.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers and punk hardware
Condition notes
Clear wear, soiling on sole and canvas, tear at the heel. Studs present.

A studded low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, model BAKER, reference A13FW739: black canvas armoured with silver cone studs at toe and heel, oversized cream laces and the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole, worn in and greyed with use. EU 42.
The Piece
The studs lead. Rows of polished silver cones cover the toe box from the welt to the lace line and wrap the heel counter in a tight grid, so the shoe reads as punk hardware from the front and the back alike. Above them, wide flat cream laces are tied loose through five eyelets on a plain black canvas upper.
Below sits the Original Sole: a rubber unit modelled to look poured and softened by hand, with an uneven, melted edge and MMY pressed into each heel. Wear has dulled it from white to a smoky grey, which suits the hardware. Inside, the insole and tongue carry the house marks.
Mihara Yasuhiro made the sculpted sole his signature; the BAKER takes that soft, almost melted shape and sets it against the hardest decoration on the shelf.
