Nikolay/Grishko Novaflex

The Novaflex brings together Nikolay and Grishko design influences in a shoe built around a flexible, quicker-breaking-in shank. Its tapered box and vamp give a streamlined look, while the flex construction lets dancers roll through demi-pointe with less resistance than a traditional paste shank. It suits dancers who want a softer feel without sacrificing structure in the box.
