To celebrate Accel Day May 19th 2026, we've pushed the boundries of skate footwear, we proudly present the Accel Kevlar.

Every year on May 19, 5/19 becomes éS - the fifth and nineteenth letters of the alphabet. A simple idea that grew into a moment to celebrate the Accel and what it represents.

This year we've partnered with 30 premium partners whose shops will have this extremely limited edition style available on Tuesday 5/19 to help celebrate Accel day, and the historic impact it's made on skateboarding.

Within this run, pairs 005 and 019 carry special significance, referencing May 19 (5/19) - Accel Day itself. The skaters who receive these numbers will be invited into a one-of-a-kind Accel Day prize package.

Each winner will receive an assigned pair of Accels from the éS archive, personally signed by Pierre-Andre Senizergues & Don Brown. These archive pieces are one-of-one signed items. The Accel was designed by Pierre-Andre Senizergues in 1994 and was first released in 1995.

The prize experience also includes a private video call with the éS team. This is an open, informal conversation - an opportunity to talk freely with the team and skaters (including TJ Rogers and more), ask questions, hear stories, get advice, and more.

These prizes cannot be bought, entered into, or transferred. They exist soley to honor Accel Day and the legacy behind 5/19. Connection, history, and community. Built from the ground up.
