A guide for this piece: about $38, 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 discontinued Nippon 60 by Onitsuka Tiger in red and white leather, from an issue of 1,964 pairs, 27.5 cm.
The Piece
Red leather with a white band and a red disc at the side recalls the national flag. The heel tab carries the old script logo. The pair has been worn and is clean; no box.
Onitsuka Tiger and the Nippon 60
Kihachiro Onitsuka set up his business in Kobe in 1949 and released his first basketball shoe in 1950, choosing the name Tiger for the animal's strength and agility. At the Tokyo Olympic Games of 1964, the British silver medallist Basil Heatley and the Japanese bronze medallist Kokichi Tsuburaya ran the marathon in Onitsuka shoes. In 1977 the company merged with two others to form ASICS.
The Nippon 60 came out in September 2020 in the ICON series, a reissue of the shoe worn by the Japanese national team in 1960, made in 1,964 pairs worldwide with a serial number on the insole. The model has since left the catalogue. Other pairs are kept in the sneaker vault.
