A guide for this piece: about $121, 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.

An unworn pair of the Air VaporMax made by Nike with Comme des Garcons, all in black, with the box.
The Piece
The knitted upper is stripped of its laces and closed like a slipper, and sits on the clear segmented air sole of the VaporMax, here tinted black throughout. Style code 924501 001, marked US 10.5, 28.5 cm.
Comme des Garcons and the VaporMax
Nike's Air Max line began in 1986 with visible gas filled cushioning units. In the Air VaporMax effectively the whole midsole is made of air units, with no conventional foam.
Rei Kawakubo started Comme des Garcons in Tokyo in 1969 and established it as a company in 1973. A menswear line followed in 1978, and in 1981 the label made its first show in Paris, where black, distressed cloth and unfinished seams unsettled the critics of the day. This VaporMax drops the laces so the knitted upper closes like a slipper, tinted black over the clear segmented sole. More of the house is gathered in our Comme des Garcons edit, and other rare pairs wait in the sneaker vault.
