Overview

The Accel Skate Shoes are the iconic, original all-around skate shoe, now reissued in their exact 1995 form. This legendary model redefined skate shoes in the mid-90s, offering a perfect balance between the bulkier Accel OG and the slimmer Accel Slim. Unavailable for nearly two decades, the original Accel is back with its classic shape, style, and performance-tuned, skate-ready build, ready to change the game once again.

Details

True 1995 silhouette more streamlined than the OG, more cushioned than the Slim

Features

Sole

Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.

Accels are the best and they're probably the only shoes I'll ever wear anymore

Accel '95

eS The Accel Skate Shoes

Been skating multiple pairs of the OGs for a few years now and was concerned with the fit on these. I have normal width feet and went with my tts, which was snug but comfortable out of the box for me. Wide footers may want to go to your local shop to try these on first, but you might need to go 1/2 size up on the white leather pair. I feel like I have better control on my flicks with this compared to the OGs. Heels took a minute to find but felt great once I did. More comfortable than the slims. Will probably skate more pairs of this going forward.

Feel, comfort and most importantly style. When I look down at my shoe on my board it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I will never wear another skate shoe as long as the original is on the market. Thank you Kelli Hart!!!!! Thank you Nidecker and thank you to Tactics for being the best skate shop in the Northwest.
