The Accel OG X Arto honors the legacy of one of skateboarding’s most iconic figures, Arto Saari, by fusing the DNA of his early-2000s éS pro model with the legendary Accel OG silhouette. This special edition doesn’t just nod to history – it lets you step directly into it. From the moment you lace up, you’re surrounded by subtle yet powerful references to Arto’s golden era: his name “ARTO” is stitched into the tongue and heel, while the insole features a collage of classic Arto photos, capturing his impact on skateboarding culture.

Visually, it stays true to Arto’s style – clean, bold, and refined. The upper is dressed in a premium charcoal grey suede, echoing his original colorway and chosen for its durability and understated style. Structurally, it’s still the uncompromising Accel OG underneath: a triple-stitched toe cap and reinforced ollie area for long-lasting wear, a full 400 NBS rubber cupsole for reliable grip, and that signature blend of cushioning and boardfeel that made this shoe a staple for high-impact skating.

An EVA midsole and die-cut STI Energy Foam insole absorb heavy landings, while the padded tongue and collar offer all-day comfort and ankle support. Elastic tongue straps keep the fit dialed in – whether you’re casually cruising or throwing down hammers. Every detail serves a purpose, just like Arto’s skating: nothing wasted, everything intentional.

But this isn’t just a retro tribute. The Accel OG X Arto celebrates a skater who defined an era and continues to inspire. It’s built for those who remember his Flip “Sorry” part like it was yesterday, as well as those just discovering what made Arto’s skating so powerful. The result is a skate shoe that’s timeless in look, modern in feel, and rich with meaning.

This is more than a collab – it’s a statement. The Accel OG X Arto stands as a thank-you to a legend and a reminder of what’s possible when power, finesse, and innovation collide.
