Introducing: The Square One
Thursday, Mar 30, 2006 · GarryWe’re going all the way back to square one to remix history. Slap the classic éS Accel on an insanely flexible vulcanized outsole with a super grippy new tread pattern and what do you get? Just the best, lowest-priced, no-nonsense skate shoe éS offers. Let’s all give a warm welcome to the Square One. Look for all four colorways today at a shop near you.

3/30/06 at 10:05those are cool.i’ll probably get em. i suppose this is the answer for how the accel is getting beefier. the shoe doesn’t even have system g2.

3/31/06 at 11:09not to be off topic but what is with all the camo colorways on the accel, accel plus, and accelerate. The new shoes are cool by the way, like a old school with a twist.

3/31/06 at 01:32sorry but i don´t like this shoe

3/31/06 at 04:33They look more like Etnies Factions more than Reynolds 3’s, which is good because Factions are really comfy with good board feel. So it’s my favourite two shoes mixed into one. How fun.
When will they be in England I wonder. Shitty England.

4/1/06 at 08:51I agree with DaMan. What it’s wrong with you people?!??!?!! They’ve killed all éS shoes, and now they want to murdered a classic like the Accel. It’s like the bastard chils of accel’s and reynolds’s 3 and even a little bit of Rowley Classics. Please stop killing shoes.

4/1/06 at 08:02Ok first of all, People who are saying “You fucked up the Accel’s”. There NOT Accels read the fucking name of the shoe.
Anyways, I have skated a Vulacanized sole before and they last a long time.. Good work Es. Im definetly getting these.

4/2/06 at 09:35or where they etnies faction?
gravatar of eS blog commenter, mark
mark says:
4/2/06 at 04:49They were Factions.
eS doesn’t suck because they haven’t made a shit shoe. It looks almost the same as the Accel but with a really good sole that won’t be hard to wear in.
And they haven’t ruined the Accel because they still do the Accels. Stop moaning. They look lush I’m getting the brown ones.

4/2/06 at 05:36The accel was fine how it was and i have proof cause i have 12 pairs. The reynolds 3 look of the sole i like but it’ll take somegetting used 2. just got a pair off skate america so that makes 13 pairs

4/3/06 at 08:00thank god for this shoe! ever since they changed the accell, i cant find a shoe that i am comfortable with. WHY DID THEY GIVE THE ACCELL THE ACCELLERATES SOLE?!?!?! ughhhhh it makes me so mad. I love the orginal accells. Oh well, this is a pleasant suprise.

tom penny rocks says:
4/7/06 at 07:55its cool that they made the accel better. but if es wants to beat the sales over at SUPRA they need to bring back the K3 under a different name and not write kosten on it. or make a shoe that looks like the savier sherman shoe.
