A guide for this piece: about $52, 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.

Suede with scales
atmos changes one thing about a classic and stops. On this Suede the nap is pressed into scales and the stripe glows like an ember. Everything else is left as PUMA drew it in 1968.
Best for: Sneaker collectors who follow atmos editions

The PUMA Suede VTG made with the Tokyo retailer atmos for Godzilla, reference 390479-01, in black with an upper textured like the monster's hide. Unworn, with its box, in 26.5 cm.
The Piece
The Suede is among the oldest silhouettes PUMA makes, and atmos has a long record of rebuilding it around a single idea. Here the idea is skin. The toe and quarters are embossed with an irregular scale pattern in place of smooth nap, and the formstrip along the side carries a molten gradient of red, green and gold, like heat showing through.
The heel tabs are grey with the leaping cat, backed in yellow on one shoe, and the insoles and tongue labels carry the collaboration marks. Gold PUMA lettering sits beside the lacing. The sole is the plain off white cupsole of the vintage model. The pair is photographed beside the soft vinyl Godzilla figure issued with this edition.
