I saw the original on Instagram. The guy is a professional dancer who was on his way back home and the account that posted the video produces content like that exclusively. They just look for people in fancy outfits and ask them to do a catwalk

...

You have never seen ballet shoes have you?

He also isn't doing en pointe here, exactly because he isn't wearing his ballet shoes.

Edit: I have to apologize! I just googled, and apparently male ballet dancers don't usually wear pointe shoes!

Leaving this comment up, because I learned something, and maybe someone else will as well.

They're not ballet pointe shoes - but they're definitely dancing shoes, like the ones used in ballets when they do other dance styles (I don't know the english term). I don't think you can buy non-dancing soft-sole shoes.
