Description
To celebrate Accel Day May 19th 2026, we've pushed the boundaries 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.

Story of Design
-
Accel: The Anchor; Since 1995
Designed by Pierre André in 1995 as the anchor of the brand, the Accel was meant to be the solid, simple, go-to skate shoe that everything else could orbit around. Every line was considered - balanced tread, triple-stitched toe, architectural mid-panel and the perfect puffy tongue - built to last and to skate.
