20 Years of Go Skateboarding Day – a limited Accel OG honoring the 405.
In celebration of Go Skateboarding Day’s 20th anniversary, éS has released the Accel OG X 405 FWY, a special limited-edition colorway honoring the iconic 405 Freeway in Southern California and the rich skateboarding heritage it represents. This shoe is more than just a tribute – it’s a piece of skate history. The tonal grey suede upper mirrors the concrete highways that connect skaters from city to city, with a direct nod to the famous photo of Don Brown skating the 405 Freeway, which inspired the design.
The insole is uniquely printed with imagery of the 405 Freeway, allowing you to carry a part of skateboarding’s history beneath your feet. On the heel, you’ll find custom “405” artwork, marking the 20th anniversary of Go Skateboarding Day and paying homage to the spirit of unity and freedom within the skate community.
While the shoe celebrates a rich legacy, it delivers the same performance and durability you expect from the Accel OG. The triple-stitched toe cap and reinforced ollie area ensure that this shoe can handle endless kickflips and ollies, perfect for celebrating the day by hitting the streets or participating in a meetup. The padded tongue and collar offer familiar comfort and support, while elastic tongue straps help maintain a secure fit during your skating adventures, whether you’re pushing through crowds or popping tricks.
Inside, die-cut STI Energy Foam insoles and an EVA midsole provide the cushioning you need, especially if you’re hitting a few stair sets to mark the occasion. The 400 NBS rubber cupsole offers solid grip and durability, designed to handle long skate sessions from the early morning to sunset.
The Accel OG X 405 FWY is more than just a skate shoe; it’s a tribute to skateboarding’s past and present. With this shoe, you’re stepping into a piece of skate history while creating new memories on Go Skateboarding Day. It’s a reminder that the mission remains the same: get out there, skate together, and celebrate the culture.
