An in-Depth Overview of Technical Features:
- Microfiber Lined Insole
With Signature Embossing, this lining enhances hygiene, prevents foot slippage, and ensures a secure, stable feel. - Low Vamp Construction
A soft, lowered vamp (5mm lower than previous models) ensures effortless articulation and a seamless transition to an en pointe position and is perfect for dancers with shorter toes. - Low-Cut Sides and Heels
Designed for a sleek aesthetic and perfect fit, both the sides and heel are 5mm lower than the beloved StreamPointe. - Revolutionary Box Materials
The Assoluta is created using Nikolay’s Signature Miracle Thermopaste. Miracle paste uses body heat to perfectly contour the foot, creating a mesmerizing silhouette with seamless structural support. - Pleat-less Design
A reimagined and vastly improved pleat-less construction method eliminates unnecessary bulk, enhancing aesthetics and creating seamless transitions when rolling through. - Brand New Quiet Knot Technology
The Assoluta features a new quiet knot design which extends into the platform (unlike previous models) for silent hops en pointe. This new noise-reducing technology allows whisper-soft landings. - Elastic Drawstring & Classic Cotton Binding
Nikolay has designed the Assoluta with a traditional elastic drawstring and cotton binding. This offers a secure, yet adaptable fit that moves with the dancer – Remember to never yank or pull your drawstrings too tight! - High, Delicately Supportive Wings
Assoluta’s high wings provide a supportive structure without excessive pressure. This deters premature bunions and enhances stability, while preserving the natural elegance of the foot. - A Tailored Fit for Every Dancer
With a full range of sizes and widths, Assoluta caters to a wide spectrum of foot shapes, making it a versatile choice for dancers at various training levels. The specially engineered flexible yet stable insole, inspired by the renowned Tamara model, molds effortlessly to the arch, offering superior support and dynamic movement. - Last Design: A SMART Foundation for Excellence
The new generation of ballerinas don't always have a high arch, and the continuing evolution of foot characteristics leads to the creation of new lasts (‘last’ is the technical term for the form pointe shoes are built on). Created on the SmartPointe last, Assoluta follows in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed SmartPointe, StreamPointe, NeoPointe, and StarPointe models. The SmartPointe last was designed to fit wide and medium-width feet with a medium to low arch. The slightly tapered box shape with a wider platform creates an elegant look, lengthening the leg lines. - Unprecedented Lightness and NEW Ultra-Smooth Satin Material
Assoluta is one of the lightest and most breathable pointe shoes ever created by Nikolay, thanks to an innovative material composition. This is the first Nikolay pointe shoe to feature their BRAND NEW Ultra-Smooth Satin with state-of-the-art Duplication Technology. The new ultra-smooth satin is structured and holds its shape, especially in the heel cup, offering an exceptionally sleek, elegant appearance while ensuring long-lasting durability.
