Accel OG
The era-defining accel in its puffier 2005 accel og form.
01
Description
In 2005, the Accel evolved. Responding to the era’s demand for a more padded, robust skate shoe, this version introduced a bulkier silhouette while retaining the core elements that made the original a staple. It wasn’t about reinventing the wheel—it was about adapting to the times.
The “Accel OG” was born.
This iteration became a choice for skaters seeking that extra cushioning and presence underfoot, offering the same distinctive feel that the Accel managed in 1995, marking its place in skateboarding’s diverse timeline.

Story of Design

Accel OG: The OG Era; More Heft
Accel OG brings back the larger, early-2000s take on the Accel that riders gravitated to as trends shifted. It kept the spirit of the 1995 original but with more heft and presence on foot, becoming the version many skaters grew up destroying in videos and ads from 2005 onwards.
Reviews
Customers praised this iconic skateboarding shoe as "the best skate shoe of all time," highlighting exceptional comfort, durability, and performance. Many noted it's "protective and comfy but light," with "great board feel." Shoppers appreciated the wide fit and nostalgic 90s design. Minor concerns included shoelace durability and occasional sizing issues.
- Very protective and comfy but being light at the same time. Perfect for my skate style
- Strong, sturdy and built to last. Like stepping into a nice warm hug for my feet.
- Most comfortable and durable skate shoe that I've owned. This shoe can't be beat.
Dude I LOVE these shoes. I’ve tried a ton of shoes and most of them have the toe cap peeling up by now but these are still pushing. 10/10 will buy again
Hi Tyler!
We're thrilled to hear you love the Accel OG shoes and that they've held up so well. Thanks for the fantastic review — we appreciate your support and look forward to your next purchase!
Cheers

Very glad the OG's go up to size 15 (EU 49, 32cm feet). I initially ordered a size too small, make sure to add + 1cm to your foot length when reading the size guide! Customer contact for the return was smooth and friendly.
I love how fluffy the shoes are, but still have good ground/boardfeel. The black ones look sick with bright colored straight bar lacing!
Can't comment on durability yet, but on first impression they seem sturdy.
Hey Ernst,
Appreciate the detailed feedback — good to hear the Accel OG works well for you in the larger sizing range and that the return process was smooth. Noted on the sizing tip and the balance between cushioning and boardfeel as well. Stoked you’re enjoying the setup, especially the lace combo.

I have been wearing es shoes for over 20 years. They do not disappoint. This is my 2nd pair of Two Nine 8's, I skated the last pair for almost 4 months and they held up better than expected. I will continue buying es as long as they keep the old school models coming. Check out my reviews on my YouTube channel

These are the BEST shoes ever! They are strong,sturdy and built to last. First pair I owned made it 5 years through 4 season in Mi here. (A lot) And when I put them on it's like stepping into a nice warm hug for my feet. No matter what I'm doing they always up my game, thanks again for crafting these amazing kicks. 😄😍
Perfect skate shoe that’s all I gotta say
I have been skating Es' since the late 90s. I was stoked to see the Koston 2s in 2025 and had to grab them. I have 2 months of MOB grip tape beatings on these bad boys and they are still going strong. I won't skate any other brand. I have the Koston 2s in yellow and black and I just got the Creagers in navy. Es' for life. I have one thing to ask of the company though. I really want a pair of the one nine 7s, I don't care what color I just want them. Let me know when they are coming back, I will buy them for sure.

Dude just give us another pair of brown laces and its a 5 star
The shoes look great in person and they are actually lighter than I expected. They are very well padded but not super poofy. Overall they are comfortable shoes that I highly recommend!

FAQ
01 Do éS shoes fit true to size?
As they are designed with a medium-width profile, most éS shoes fit true to size with a classic skate fit-secure in the heel with room for natural movement in the forefoot. Models like the Accel and Swift are built on legacy éS lasts, while newer silhouettes may feel more streamlined. If you prefer a tighter performance fit, you can size down ½ size.
02 Are éS shoes good for impact skating?
Yes. Many models were built using STI Energy Foam midsoles, high-rebound insoles, and supportive cupsole construction and we are always developing technologies for the future. These designs originated from the golden era of technical skating and have been refined to handle modern impact demands.
03 Why does éS focus on engineering?
éS was founded to advance skate footwear. In the 90s and 2000s, the brand set the benchmark for technical design - clean silhouettes, smart overlays, better impact protection, and shoes built to progress skateboarding. Today, that same engineering mindset underpins every new model.
04 What materials do éS shoes typically use?
Full-grain leather, suede, synthetic reinforcements, breathable mesh, and high-grip rubber. Materials are selected for the blend of durability, performance, and feel needed for technical skateboarding.
05 How do I choose between éS shoe models?
All éS shoes use cupsole construction, but each model offers a different mix of support, boardfeel and durability. Classic styles like the Accel or Swift are stable and durable. Modern models focus on lighter weight and impact protection, while heritage remasters keep original design DNA. Choose based on whether you want more support or a more responsive feel.
06 What technologies do éS shoes use?
éS shoes use skate-specific construction features for durability, comfort and performance. These include cupsole construction, reinforced ollie zones, triple-stitched toe caps, rubberized overlays on high-wear areas, hidden lace-loops, molded EVA or E-Bound foam insoles for impact protection, breathable mesh panels and high-grip rubber outsoles.
07 How durable are éS shoes?
Durability is engineered into the build: reinforced ollie zones, rubber overlays, triple stitching, and high-abrasion materials. Cupsole models provide long-lasting outsole integrity, while selected vulc models use wrapped foxing for wear protection.
08 What makes the Accel an iconic skate shoe?
The Accel is one of the most influential shoes in skateboarding history - known for its clean design, durable cupsole, and balanced boardfeel. It became the standard for technical skating in the mid-to-late 90s and continues to influence modern éS design today.
09 Are éS shoes made for skateboarding?
Yes. Every éS shoe is designed for technical skateboarding, from tread patterns to foam systems to wear zones. éS was founded to push skate footwear design forward, and that engineering-first mindset guides every model we release.
10 Cupsole vs vulcanized - what’s the difference?
Cupsoles offer more support, impact protection and long-lasting stability - central to éS heritage and seen on icons like the Accel and TJ Rogers. Vulc styles deliver immediate boardfeel and flexibility. Both are engineered specifically for technical skateboarding; it comes down to your skating style and preference.
11 Which pros skate or wear éS shoes?
éS has been worn by many of skateboarding’s most influential pros, including Eric Koston, Tom Penny, Chad Muska, Bob Burnquist, Rick McCrank and Ronnie Creager. Later generations included Paul Rodriguez, PJ Ladd, Rodrigo TX and Wade Desarmo. In 2025, éS introduced the TJ Rogers pro model, continuing the brand’s long tradition of supporting elite skateboarders.
