The new Akoya from RP's Sea of Pearls collection features pliable shanks, pre-arched construction, a U-cut with drawstring, tapered box with a medium crown and medium toe platform, and a streamlined heel.
Dancers most likely to choose Akoya have slender, tapered toes or a longer second toe, and need a narrow-fitting feel.
If you love the Encore from RP's Spotlight Collection, RP recommends trying the Akoya pointe shoe for your next pair.
