A guide for this piece: about $58, 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 High-Top, Gently Undone
The basketball high-top is one of the most familiar shapes in footwear, and the Original Sole makes it look freshly modelled in clay. In black patent the effect is sharper still: a hard gloss above, a soft slump below.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and the Original Sole line

The MMY Wayne high-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C11FW713: a black patent upper with a padded ankle strap, set on the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole. Labelled 44.
The Piece
The silhouette borrows from the classic basketball high-top, then melts it. The sole is the signature: a thick black midsole shaped to look as though it was modelled by hand and left to slump, so no two pairs sit quite alike. Above it, the upper is cut in high-shine black patent, panelled and double stitched, with a perforated toe box, a padded collar and a strap that crosses the ankle. MMY is debossed at the outer collar and moulded into the grey outsole.
Inside, a black textile lining carries the MMY WAYNE tag with the reference and size. Laces are flat and black.
Mihara Yasuhiro began as a shoemaker, and the Original Sole remains the clearest statement of that craft: familiar shapes, gently undone.
