Buy Maison Mihara Yasuhiro at Mentastore

Want to buy Maison Mihara Yasuhiro sneakers? At Mentastore you'll find the Peterson, Hank and Blakey on the famous OG Sole, in our store in Tilburg and online. Maison Mihara, or simply "Mihara" as many people call it, is the Japanese label behind the canvas sneakers with the wavy, almost melted rubber sole. They look familiar at first glance and completely different at second glance, and that is exactly why they have become one of the most recognisable sneakers on the street right now. Every pair we sell is new, unworn and checked by our own team before it ships.

About Maison Mihara Yasuhiro

Maison Mihara Yasuhiro is the label of Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro, who built his name with footwear before expanding into clothing. His work often plays with things we already know. He takes a classic shape, like a vulcanised canvas sneaker, and twists the proportions until it feels new. The result is fashion with a sense of humour: recognisable, but never quite what you expect.

The clearest example is the OG Sole. Instead of a straight, flat rubber sole, the sole of a Maison Mihara sneaker looks like it was shaped by hand from clay. It bulges, curves and has an uneven outline, with a wide toe cap that sits on top like a cartoon version of a classic sneaker. In real life the shoe looks sculptural and slightly exaggerated, while still being an easy canvas sneaker that you can wear every day.

Why Maison Mihara sneakers are so popular

For years the market was dominated by retro runners and basketball shoes. Maison Mihara Yasuhiro offers something else: a shoe that is simple in material and colour, but bold in shape. A pair of black Mihara sneakers works with wide jeans, cargo pants or tailored trousers, and immediately gives a basic outfit more character. They are also unisex, so you'll see them on men and women alike. Combine that with a recognisable silhouette that photographs well, and it is easy to see why "maison mihara" is searched almost 15,000 times a month in the Netherlands.

Peterson OG Sole Canvas

The Peterson is the model most people picture when they think of Maison Mihara Yasuhiro. It is a canvas sneaker with a rounded toe cap and that signature OG Sole. The Peterson OG Sole Canvas Low Black is our bestseller: black canvas with a white sole and white laces, the most versatile option in the range. Other popular colours are the Peterson OG Sole Canvas Low White, Low Grey, Low Red and Low Natural. Want it fully tonal? The Peterson OG Sole Canvas Low Black Black has a black sole as well. There is also a Peterson OG Sole Canvas High Black for anyone who prefers a high top, the Peterson 23 in Black, White and Green, and the Peterson OG Vintage Sole Canvas Low Black with an aged look on the sole.

Hank OG Sole Canvas

The Hank is the second big name in the range. It shares the OG Sole and canvas upper with the Peterson, but has its own shape and details, so many people end up choosing based on which one they like best on their foot. The Hank OG Sole Canvas Low Black is one of the most searched Maison Mihara sneakers in the Netherlands. You'll also find the Hank OG Sole Canvas Low White, Low Red and Low Gray, the all black Hank OG Sole Canvas Low Black Black and the Hank Vintage Sole Canvas Low Black. Can't decide between Peterson and Hank? Come and try both on in our store. Seeing them side by side makes the choice a lot easier.

Blakey OG Sole Canvas

The Blakey completes the line up. It is a canvas low top on the same characteristic sole, available as Blakey OG Sole Canvas Low White and Blakey OG Sole Canvas Low Black. A good pick if you want the Maison Mihara look but in a slightly different silhouette from what you see most often.

Popular colours

• Black: the bestseller, with a white sole or fully black (Black Black)
• White: clean and summery, great with light denim
• Grey and Gray: a softer neutral that is easy to combine
• Red: for a pair that stands out
• Green and Natural: earthy tones for a calmer look

How does Maison Mihara Yasuhiro fit?

This is the question we get asked most, and it matters. Maison Mihara Yasuhiro sneakers are generally known to run large. The OG Sole and the wide toe cap make the shoe longer and roomier than a regular canvas sneaker. That is why most people go down in size, often a full size, sometimes a half size, depending on the model and the shape of your foot. If you have wide feet, your usual size can still feel fine. Because the fit varies per person, we recommend trying them on in our store in Tilburg before you order. Can't make it to Tilburg? Send us your size in a sneaker you know well and we'll help you choose, and remember you have 14 days to exchange for another size.

Styling and care

The exaggerated sole asks for trousers with some volume. Wide jeans, cargo pants and relaxed chinos that fall over the top of the shoe show off the silhouette best. In summer, shorts and a white tee keep the look playful. For care, canvas is easy: brush off dry dirt and clean the upper and sole with a soft brush and a mild sneaker cleaner from our sneaker cleaning range. Avoid the washing machine, as heat and tumbling can affect the sole and the glue. Fresh laces from our laces collection make an older pair look new again.
