The R-Class AD19 Astra is part of the Adaptive Collection and designed for dancers who want a reliable, supportive shoe that keeps up with their technique and artistry.
With a broad box and shallow crown, Astra offers a secure, low-profile fit that supports stability and balance. Its innovative plastic platform helps the shoe maintain shape and keeps you centered on pointe — ideal for long rehearsals and performance days.
The R-Class shank, connected directly to the platform, promotes smooth roll-through and strengthens your footwork. Over time, the Adaptiv glue molds to your foot for a more personalized, comfortable feel. And the stretch satin heel hugs your foot for a clean, secure finish.
