Don't Breathe
For his Evil Dead follow-up, director Fede Alvarez ups the creep factor several hundred notches. Dubbed the best American horror film in 20 years, three teens scout out a blind man for an easy robbery, but of course they were wrong and he turns out to be the most terrifying man on the planet. As the trailer implies, it's pretty f'd up. Starring Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang, the film is set to hit theaters August 26, 2016.

Nike Vomero 18 Running Shoes
Given the size of the heel, you'd be forgiven for thinking Nike's Vomero 18 running shoes were designed for hardcore racers. Instead, their dual-density midsole of lightweight ZoomX foam and responsive ReactX foam is designed to give everyday runners the most cushioned ride possible. The upper is made from engineered mesh for breathability, while the plush tongue and lining boost comfort. On the bottom, the outsole sports a pod system with a new traction pattern for added agility and smoother heel-to-toe transitions. Now available in an eye-popping bright green, orange, and silver colorway.

Fencing Explained
Most Olympic sports are rather self-explanatory — cross the finish line first, be the most accurate, do more flips with less mistakes than your opponent. But fencing is a completely different story. The sport happens so fast, and the rules are so arcane, that a layperson has hardly any idea of what is happening or why. Vox gives you a brief primer on fencing, its history, and how the rules work for the three different events.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants
Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel, able to stretch and recover so they never warp or sag. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Available in Slim or Straight Fits, they're now in four new, limited-time colors: Bering Sea, True White, Bourbon Brown, and True Black.
