Accel
The original all-around skate shoe, proven by generations of pros.
01
Description
Unavailable since the mid-2000s, the original Accel is now back on the shelves – in its original 1995 form. This is the éS Accel, the exact shape that redefined skate shoes and dominated the streets from the mid-’90s and throughout the golden era of skateboarding. Sleeker than the Accel OG and more substantial than the Accel Slim, this version delivers that perfect in-between fit and feel that skaters have been missing for nearly two decades.
The return of a classic. The shape that started it all. Skating history, reborn.

Story of Design

Accel: The Anchor; Since 1995
Designed by Pierre André in 1995 as the anchor of the brand, the Accel was meant to be the solid, simple, go-to skate shoe that everything else could orbit around. Every line was considered - balanced tread, triple-stitched toe, architectural mid-panel and the perfect puffy tongue - built to last and to skate.
