What's The Pointe?

I have a weakness for nearly all Costume National shoes. The color catches me on these wedges.

I have been getting back to ballet and en pointe (now I really feel old -- in pain and ballet step memory loss) and these Acne "Position" flats caught my eye. Thoughts?
I think they're a little strange -- either you dance on real pointe shoes on stage or in class...not on the street where they look out of place. I like the concept of pointe shoes on the street, but I don't think it translates well in reality. Repetto has some similar flats to these, which I think are more wearable, maybe because they are a dance manufacturer.
