Accel Day

The éS Accel isn’t just held to a moment in skateboarding—it’s spans thirty years of relevance.

First released in 1995, it became an instant staple: clean design, lasting build, and a feel that just works. Over the years, it’s been laced up by some of the most influential names in the game—and it’s never disappeared. Not from the streets, not from the footage, not from the culture.

May 19 is Accel Day. A chance to highlight what the shoe means now and has meant across its lifespan. Because the Accel is about that earned respect across generations.

Accel Day is a space to tell those stories. The ones from the past, the ones happening right now, and the ones still to come. Stories from skaters, from cities, from sessions that mattered. All through the lens of a shoe that’s always been there.

Welcome to Accel Day.
