The next generation of Grishko pointe shoes is here!  Named after founder Nikolay Grishko, the Nikolay collection of pointe shoes features innovative & updated styles of classic Grishko pointe shoes.  Made on the 2007 last, the new 3007 pointe shoe has a tapered box with a medium platform, medium U-shaped vamp, and slighter higher & more supple wings than the 2007.  New features of the 3007 include an anti-slip microfiber heel that molds to the foot to prevent slippage, and an innovative box construction using adaptive eco-dextrin paste, which allows for easily rolling-through demi-pointe while still being supported en pointe.

The 3007 Pro Flex by Nikolay Grishko captures the essence of the 2007 Pro Flex while featuring exciting new innovations.  It is made on the 2007 last and has a tapered box with a medium platform, U-shaped medium vamp, and slightly higher & more supple wings that the 2007 version.  Just like the 2007 Pro Flex, the 3007 Pro Flex has "silent knot" construction under the toes to allow for whisper-quiet dancing and a flex shank for a beautiful bend under the arch that flatters the foot while still being supportive.  Improving upon the 2007 Pro Flex design, the 3007 version features the revolutionary adaptive eco-dextrin paste box that molds to the foot and allows for easy demi-pointe roll-through while still strongly supporting the foot en pointe.  It also features an anti-slip microfiber heel, so no more slippage issues!

Joining the new Nikolay Collection from Grishko Russia is the Miracle pointe shoe.  As its name suggests, it's made with technology that's downright miraculous.  The incredibly soft, hand-brushed interior will have you wondering if you even need toe pads, and the lining is treated with silver nano-particles for an antibacterial effect.  Made on the 2007 last, the box is moderately tapered with a medium platform, medium U-shaped vamp, and high wings that are supportive yet flexible due to the innovative elastic paste used in the box construction.  The Miracle has a lower cut heel for a sleek look, and "silent knot" construction under the the toes allows for whisper-quiet dancing.  The shank is uniquely constructed to be light & flexible yet incredibly durable.
