Back to the beginning

The Accel was designed to be a foundational skate shoe: durable, functional, and timeless. Its clean lines, triple-stitched toe, and iconic puffy tongue made it an instant favorite among skaters. Over the years, it became a staple in skateboarding culture, worn by a who’s who of skateboarding—it’s the shoe that showed up on the feet of just about every pro you’ve ever known and loved.

While the Accel evolved over time, introducing variations like the Accel OG, the original 1995 design quietly faded from the lineup.

Now, for the first time in decades, the true OG Accel returns, just as it was when it first hit the streets.

It's back.

The rerelease of the original Accel is more than just a nod to the past; it’s a celebration of the shoe’s enduring impact on skateboarding. From its inception, the Accel was built to support skaters pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a board. Its design prioritized board feel, durability, and comfort—qualities that have kept it relevant for 30 years.

The Accel has been there through it all, and its return to the original shape is a testament to its lasting significance in the skateboarding world.
