True to its moniker, New Balance does a great job balancing price, performance, style, and function with its newest running shoe, Cypher Run. High-performance sneakers keep edging past the $100 mark and beyond, so it’s nice to see a well-designed running shoe from an established, trusted brand coming in at $90. The Cypher Run features a lightweight knit upper with a bootie construction — like slipping on socks — and features a rubberized ribbed overlay on the toe that not only looks cool but adds durability....

Jim Beam might have a boycott on its barrels. The hashtag #boycottbeam has hit social media after the whiskey brand’s spokesperson said she’d been donating to Planned Parenthood under Vice President Mike Pence’s name each month. Kunis, who has been a brand ambassador for Beam for three years, revealed her subtle troll while on Conan recently. The actress told O’Brien, “every month, to his office, he gets a little letter that says an anonymous donation has been made in your name....

With skateboarding making its Olympic debut at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan, boarders from all around the world are competing to be part of the historic group that gets to go to Tokyo, Japan. With strong competition at events during the qualifying period, every skater knows that one mistake could be the difference between competing for Olympic gold and watching at home.

Steve Earle, the singer-songwriter-actor-playwright, whose new record, Guy, drops this month, talks being sober, getting married seven times, and partying with Frida Khalo. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies What’s the best advice you ever received? Guy Clark told me, “Songs aren’t finished until you play them for people.” It took me a long time to really understand what he meant—it’s about being open to changing things even if you’re pretty happy with the way they are....

SUP Foiling on Flatwater Unless you’re stuck in a cave somewhere or living on a deserted island–we’d prefer the latter–you’ve seen videos of paddlers SUP foiling in both waves and on downwind runs. These underwater wings need only the smallest bump of aquatic energy to propel paddlers out of the water. But they still needed some type of swell, until now that is. Don’t believe us? Check out this video of a paddler taking off on his strapless foilboard after beginning from a dead start in a flat lake....

There’s a product making rounds for the sheer ridiculousness of its pricetag — a $5,000 gold-plated foam roller. Yes, a muscle recovery device that’s on par with an engagement ring. Here’s the thing — and hear us out here — we’re all for it. Finally, the lowly roller is getting the gold-plated treatment it deserves. Sure, this one is mostly for show — if you really want a roller, buy the equally effective $20-$40 product — but it’s hard to argue against celebrating a product that promises decreased fatigue, injury and muscles soreness....

If you’re one of the lucky few who can get away with never touching a blade to your head or face, consider yourself charmed. By using an electric razor exclusively, you’re free! Free of shaving cream, razors, and messes … except, of course, for the cascade of whiskers in the bathroom sink. And on the counter. And on the floor. And in the grout between the tiles. And in the soap dish....

Looking for new clothes can be a real hassle. Going all around to the many great outlets and looking for something that catches your eye and fits is exhausting and time-consuming. So if you are able to get great clothes delivered to you every month that will fit at a great discount, you should jump on that opportunity. And that opportunity exists with the Style Plan at Frank And Oak....

Trying to learn some new piece of tech can be really hard, even if you are pretty tech literate. We may be in a tech-heavy world and everyone uses tech all the time, but to really become a master at something is really hard. There are so many levels to all these programs and apps that it can bend your mind. It can really be even more difficult when you are trying to get a job that necessitates you being above average at a program that you only have, at best, an intermediate level of history with....

Studies show that it’s a must to add tree nuts to your diet if you haven’t already. Considered a “superfood,” they’re chock-full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants—and one of the top choices, walnuts, may also help to shift your gut bacteria to higher levels of the more beneficial populations. A new study from the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center has found that increased walnut consumption may be able to bump up levels of “good” bacteria like Lactobacillus and Ruminococcaceae....

Sayulita has been on the map as a surf destination for quite some time, but just a few miles south is a quiet fishing-village-turned-resort town with waves aplenty. Located on Mexico’s Pacific coast, Punta de Mita is situated on a small peninsula on the Banderas Bay, offering gentle surf and stunning views of the Marieta Islands. Surrounded by nine and half miles of coastline, Punta de Mita has a number of upscale resorts and fancy restaurants for luxury travelers and plenty of surf, snorkeling, hiking, and fishing for adventure seekers....

Ever try eating a salad without any dressing, or not quite enough dressing? It kind of sucks—unless you’re a rabbit, maybe—and only gets more depressing after every crunchy, slow bite. And while there are plenty of fatty dressings to drown your raw veggies, we all know that adding a ton of cheese and bacon bits is a good way to morph a salad into a calorie bomb. Fortunately, there’s a way to have your delicious salad dressing and eat it too: Add some healthy oils to your salads, according to a new study....

Jason Momoa is going from Aquaman to a post-apocalyptic future in See, a new series coming to Apple TV Plus in November. The sci-fi series takes place in a distant future where a virus has destroyed much of mankind and has left survivors without vision—or the ability to “see.” The trailer was first released during Apple’s event announcing the shows and pricing for Apple TV Plus, which will debut with shows like See, The Morning Show, and Joel Kinnaman’s space drama For All Mankind....

Just relax. Photo: Courtesy of Leonardo Dale Quite a few years ago, while I was learning the ropes to surfing bigger waves out at solid Sunset Beach, one of those set waves that the old-timers always talk about marched in from the west and caught everyone with their pants down. (As in: It had us scratching for the horizon, even though we were already a half-mile offshore, and then subsequently had us bailing our boards and diving down to let the first – of about five waves – steamroll over us....

DILAPIDATED GRAIN elevators and concrete silos soar a dozen stories above the Buffalo River, seemingly close enough to touch from my kayak. It’s an incongruous sight with the serenity of the flat river so close at hand. The buildings once stored untold tons of grain for transport to major East Coast cities. These days, however, the maritime traffic in downtown Buffalo is mostly recreational vessels like our trio of kayaks, as well as motorboats, standup paddleboards, and even floating tiki bars—which look one mai tai away from tipping over....
