AKOYA LITE Pointe shoes - Flexible Light Shank
Discover the treasure at the heart of RP’s Sea of Pearls Collection. The RP, AKOYA Pointe Shoes (Akoya Lite) are engineered for pros who want a nimble, responsive shoe right out of the box - no drama, just clean lines and confident balances. A pliable, Flexible Light Shank and pre-arched construction help the shoe mold to your foot for instant articulation, while the streamlined heel keeps your silhouette sleek on stage and in studio. If you danced in Encore from the Spotlight Collection, Akoya will feel like your next natural step.
Made for dancers with tapered toes or a longer second toe, Akoya creates a narrow, glove-like feel with a tapered box, medium crown, and U-cut with drawstring that hugs without pinching. A pleated, medium toe platform offers stable landings and crisp relevés, and the natural leather sole gives quiet traction that lasts performance after performance, all wrapped in RP’s signature Pink Satin.
