Once you get used of the bulk and break them in, they are amazing. That cushion makes you feel safe when doing certain tricks. Also they actually have pretty decent boardfeel, when you break them in.
I have more board feel in an accel than a thin shoe like a janoski. Thin shoe trend needs to die. It's a complete lie that a thinner shoe is advantageous to skateboard with.
@@gang6009I’m a beginner and skated these awhile until they were destroyed. I never had enough board feel I just got used to the feeling. Theyre just not the shoes for me.
@@jeremiahrodgers6309 I had like a dozen pairs of them in a row. Would love to buy more. Hoping he gets his own Vans that are similar to his old emericas (instead of just colorways of other peoples vans)
Probably the exact opposite. they were probably considered one of the less puffy shoes. Back around 2006 while in 9th grade and throughout the rest of highschool, I saw skaters wear huge shoes to the point of it being rediculous.
Honestly, I love the eS Accel OGs also. I actually have the eS Accel OG Plus now too (yes, the thick OG but with a strap). They are actually kind of amazing. Easily same level of Joslin 2, if not better. They're a beefier shoe. Definitely one of my favourite.
I saw they brought back the OG plus and I wanted to cop the white/snake skin cause I missed out on them years ago but it looks like they already sold out 😅
just getting back into skating after at least a 15 year break, and bought a Tom Penny set of these. puffy but comfy so far :) same deal, this is what was around when i started ages ago
I like puffy skate shoes! I have a pretty wide feet so the shoes that are shaped like a loaf of bread fit perfectly 😁 Also i'm born 1988 so the time I skated big shoes were popular and I also got used to them. I like my DC Pure High tops cause they have alot of ankle protection. I have high arch feet so I have a tendency to roll my ankle more easily. Physiotherapist told me about this few years ago and that moment I understood why I rolled my ankle so many times as a teenager 😄
40 now , skating since I was twelve. Found this shoe around 95 or so I believe and that was that. For the next 10 years probably, this was it. Black and brown suede , white leather. And yeah they weren't this puffed up.
Got my 1st pair of accels in 03 and always found myself going back to them after trying other brands and I just love the look of them too. They also make a slim version if you don't like the OG feel
I think Es Quattro’s are the best in that line for skating. The sole is amazing. If ES offers to send you other, check the Quattro out for sure. Any of the suede ones.
ÉS Accel’s in the early 2000’s where easily the best skate shoes (next to Emerica Reynolds). Everyone used to skate those 2 shoes, I got back into skating about 2-3 months ago & it blows my mind how no one skates them now
I never got a chance to skate the Reynolds but I know those were very popular back then. For me, the only thing that came close to accels were the circa cx203
E's were so hard when I was growing up in the early/mid 90's. That's all I wore and skated because of the comfort and durability. Mind you this was a time when the Osiris D3's were huge along with other shoes what my mom would call "moon shoes." Giant over the top shoes you couldn't even skate in, like DC's.
I've had two pairs of the OG, now I have the new one and it's really good buuut... The OG is still my favourite shoe. The real plus of the new one is the velcro, aside from that it's all slimmed down and, maybe it's habit, but the padding and slightly thicker sole feel just right.
I’ve been skating Accel OGs for a couple weeks and it’s the happiest and comfiest I’ve felt skating in for ever. Probobly because I grew up with shoes like this.
It’s a perspective of your age. As a guy who did the most of my skating in the mid - late 90’s these aren’t puffy at all. Lots of my friends skated in full basketball shoes.
idk why but after buying these I never want to buy another skate, they’re really fat but i feel like you can still feel the board super well. and they look dope, best skate shoe.
This and Sal Barbier shoe were what I skated back in 95/96. It was a wonderful time for skating. Saw Ed templeton at Huntington Beach skatepark and was blown away! Btw I grew up in Anaheim/Fullerton. Rad times.
i like and miss puffy shoes. i'd trade board feel for comfort and durability any day. never had the accels but had several pairs of the etnies rap/mc rap and they're practically the same shoe. kinda recently got a pair of etnies senix lows which are also pretty close to the rap/accel with a little slimmer toe box and bigger ollie patch. sole tech makes some of the best skate shoes, dc as well.
I've owned probably a dozen or so of these...feels like a thick sock once they've molded to your foot. I actually have a tiny bit bit of respect for Bieber knowing he likes this shoe too.
Iconic shoes. Everyone loved these when they came out, I skated one or two pairs, my friends aswell in different colors. We didn't consider it puffy at all for the standards.
They last forever, if they just trimmed the tongue padding down, and threw in a better insole...I put the Adidas adiprene insole from old superstars into these and it feels real comfy(I also took out the tongue padding completely). The soles are really durable.
I really like the og Accel, some of us who skated since the ninety's like shoes with padding, I know all you young kids like your paper thin shoes, the skate shoes industry got so bad about making only thin shoes that I started skating Nike Air Force Ones, which I never thought I'd have to resort to
Say what you will about biebs....the dude really parlayed the early teen idol thing into superstar status. Not easy to do. Plus he actually skates, plays drums, two big notches in my book. So jb is alright!!!
I have had at least 5 pairs of these from black to grey to that brown/gum combo. Between this and the Sal Barbier 23 eS shoes they were one of the best
one of my favourite shoes but i prefer the slim ones but the og's still have the best impact protection connected with not so thrash but still thrash board feel but i'd say that these are my favourite for jumping from big stuff
I got a pair of the Accel OG's about a year ago and honestly couldn't stand them and put them away. I took them for another couple of sessions about a year later and it takes a couple to break them in and really feel anything because I couldn't pop and coordinate, but after an hour sesh of just doing kickflips and heelflips they felt like regular skate shoes with some added protection.
Used to be my all time shoe, then the slim's came out and I think those took that spot (same brown gum colourway). I can't go back to the chunk now, too hard.
I was like, wait what!? Justin Bieber's a skater? Then I saw him do a kickflip. He's "I used to skate when I was a kid and I can still do a kickflip" good. Those shoes tho... that's why he can still kickflip. They're fucking awesome. His taste is music is "12 year old girl" good... but his taste in shoes.... "Tony Hawk" good. Those are some seriously kick ass sneaks. I wish I could say his music was as good.
Just got my first pair of puffy shoes the joslin 1 not as puffy as these but not your average vulc shoe by far … felt super comfy and didn’t even want to try another pair on
Any shoe that is remotely designed for skating is going to “skate” just fine. Judging “How it skates” is like judging food on how edible it is. The only factors you should care about as a skater are the longevity and price.
I use to pick these up at Ross for dirt cheap and we all wore them and preferred them over anything else. They would last a long time and I have to agree easy to do flip tricks.
I use to only use es accel like mid 2000s then I fell in love with the dvs Comanche. Nowadays I’m all in on Emerica. I love them, haven’t gotten a bad pair yet. They break in really quick and they’re flexible as hell. The wino slides are probably my favorite, the Gamma is great for walking the padding in them is awesome. I got two pairs of the pillars. They’re a great mid size. I use to love the puffier shoes, but when I was a kid I was jumping down 6+ stairs and the extra padding helped against heel bruising. But now I’m older and only do casual street, fuck around with flat ground and slappys. Curb jumping ect. I’m too old and out of practice to be doing crazy shit anymore. But as long as I can I’ll keep going. Just my 2¢
You sound like myself & most of us GenX skaters. ~Try Globe Haslams or Glove w/ the built in tongue that doesn't move. Like SABRE or Fusion.. I have the Globe Encore Revolution & they are sweet.

But Busenitz Pros are fire for chill.... I buy em for wife too.. ~~I almost Bought Nike Grant Taylors today but wife reminded me how evil & how much i hate Nike.. Instead i got ES Muska reissue..
ive had a pair of red E's accel OG shoes and they lasted me 4years of skating. Granted i dont skate as often as i used to, (due to work) and i kept them nice as i could. But 4 years and now my whole button sole is able to talk. i would say they are worth gettin if you still like the old school 90's look. lol i would get another pair in a heart beat.
I really like the Silo SC's they held up good about 3 months of hard skating lets just say my knee gave out before they did. EDIT: almost every time I went to a crowded park atleast one person told me they liked them.
Why are you associating this shoe with JUSTIN BEIBER?! if those shoes need to be associated with ANYONE, put TOM PENNY in there. These were the best skate shoes on the market from the late 90s through the early 2000s. End of story
I was born in 90 an grew up skating in California. Me an all my friends called these E S's. Like pronounced each letter. Never heard someone say it like this lol dunno if we were right or wrong but yea

Miss the reynolds 2

Same!! Those who know, know…
That's right! Emerica! I forgot about them. Etnies, Emerica, and eS were all the same thing one upon a time.
for real. emerica and es are my two fav brands. The ES with the stash pocket in the tongue... best pair i ever had.
when these came out they weren’t considered puffy at all.
Probably the exact opposite. they were probably considered one of the less puffy shoes. Back around 2006 while in 9th grade and throughout the rest of highschool, I saw skaters wear huge shoes to the point of it being rediculous.
100% correct
They were actually one of the more conservative style considering this was the same time Osiris was making pillows that wrapped around your feet.

the es accel is iconic, have had over a handful of pairs of them! solid skate shoes
I feel u on the puffiness. Dope to see ur skating and channels growth!
The first thing that comes to my mind when I see those shoes is Mario 😂
haha
Such a comfortable shoe. Get compliments every time I wear mine.
So the Bieber can rocket flip! I was never able to do this 😁
This and Sal Barbier shoe were what I skated back in 95/96. It was a wonderful time for skating. Saw Ed templeton at Huntington Beach skatepark and was blown away!
Btw I grew up in Anaheim/Fullerton.
Rad times.
Can you to a tutorial on FS 50-50s? I'm having trouble locking them in

Love the accel og, they're skateable, and double as workboots anytime the appearance of rugged footwear is needed..
And you can run in them too..
Same for me bro. I used to skate these in high school and when they came out again a few years back I had to grab a pair. I want them Tom Penny ones

Aye! That’s the skate park in Smithfield, UT!
Those shoes were also my favorite as well as the lakai staple, Kerry Getz dvs, Mike vallely old school ones
I'm skating these rn they're decent feel like etnies maranas got them cos shop had no maranas
What’s more durable, Maranas or this?

When I was a kid I would religiously skate only Es Accel. Etnies and Vans every now and then but Es were my favourite by far
them e's shoes are super comfy only complaint is when the grip wheres down on the sole they become very slippery.

Bieber has some taste, this shoes looking so good! 😃
hey ive been watching a lot of Alex Midler and he has some crazy bs 360 can you try and break them down?
These, the Emerica Reynolds, and Adio Hamiltons were my favorite!!
I have some white leather ones, should've gotten suede. They're comfortable at first, but eventually feel stiff/bulky
the accel ogs skate so nice I skating them currently i ordered 3 pairs of the same ones because i like them so much
It took Bieber for you to check the accel og and not tom penny? Lol
Justin Bieber could probably skate better then this dude if he had time lmao

those were one of my fav shoes skating, i also had the black ones.
Best shoe ever. Nice heel flips dude
Try the accel slims, I sk8 them regularly but they got hard to get a hold of or super high price since covid
Beiber wtf!
TH-cam is quickly becoming main stream media
I skated these and Reynolds 3s
do you ever work on switch? i find half my session is switch
You should check out the Lehigh skate park here in Utah
damn! Smithfield! Love that park!
3:30 I think it also has to do with the shape of the nose. It's actually kind of pointy for a shoe that's thick.
my favorite by far. Es Silo's are great too
Accel OGs are still my favorite skate shoe. They are tanks, they last forever. Absolute garbage laces though, they rip at the sight of grip tape
i had have Etnies Kingpin, ah yeah and i feel really safe to land a trick with this shoes, just like this ES shoes
You prefer more slim or og and with model is better for drops
One of best skate shoes ever made.
Yooo hit me up! I’ve been to that skatepark before! Are you local to the Logan area?
Man I love these shoes I’ve had probably 10 pairs from when I was 12 to 18 years old
Best shoes ! I'm wearing a pair right now in all white boy!! . Classic PJ ladd too ! 😎👍🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐 Goat shoes
Check out Biebers board graphic! Rest easy Dylan!
You forgot to mention one HUGE detail: the Achilles is super protected.
Those are my favourite skate shoes..
I think it’s so funny how everyone uses his mustache era as the photos.
Love this

Wheat skate shoes are the best tbh
that hip looks perfect to me
