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 Basketball Boot, Softened
White canvas, a frayed collar and a sole that seems to have melted at the edges: the Peterson high-top keeps every cue of the classic court shoe and then quietly loosens each one, which is why it ages so well with wear.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and the Original Sole line
Condition notes
Visible marks and wear from use. Toe caps scuffed, canvas and sole edge lightly soiled, moderate tread wear. Frayed collar is designed.

The Peterson23 high-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A14FW728: white canvas with a frayed collar and an inner side zip, set on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole. Labelled 42.
The Piece
The starting point is the classic canvas basketball boot, and the finish is pure Mihara Yasuhiro. The white midsole is shaped to look as though it was modelled by hand and left to soften, wavering along its edge, with a fine black line drawn around the top. Above it sits a rounded rubber toe cap, seven pairs of eyelets with wide white laces, and a collar whose canvas edges are left raw and frayed on purpose.
A zip runs up the inner side, so the boot can be laced once and slipped on thereafter. A woven MMY tab is stitched at the tongue, a small red tab marks the heel, and the brown outsole is moulded with a geometric tread and an MMY badge.
The Peterson line is the house's most worn sneaker, and the high-top with a zip is its most practical version.
