A guide for this piece: about $55, 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 Everyday Sneaker, Melted
Strip the Original Sole of colour and its sculpture becomes the whole story. In all black, the canvas low-top reads as a quiet shoe until the eye reaches the sole, which wavers like something left too close to the fire.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and the Original Sole line

An all-black low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO's MMY line, reference A11FW702: black canvas over the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole, with a black rubber toe cap. Labelled 43 and supplied with its box.
The Piece
The shape begins with the familiar vulcanised canvas sneaker, then lets the sole slump. The black midsole is modelled to look as though it was shaped by hand from soft clay, wavering along its edge so that each pair sits a little differently. Above it, the upper is plain black canvas with six eyelets, flat black laces and a rounded rubber toe cap, kept entirely tonal.
A woven MMY tab sits at the tongue, and the outsole is moulded in brown rubber with a geometric tread and an MMY badge under the arch. Inside, the tongue is printed with the reference and size.
Mihara Yasuhiro trained as a shoemaker, and the Original Sole remains the clearest signature of the house: an everyday shape, made to look gently undone.

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.
