Born in 1949, Blaze Foley lived the outlaw country life that would inspire a whole host of successful musicians — something Blaze himself never found. One of his closest friends was Townes Van Zandt, and the two of them couldn't be more alike musically or philosophically, which should tell you something about Blaze. Directed by Ethan Hawke, Blaze looks at three important stages of his life: His love affair with Sybil Rosen, his last night on Earth, and the effect his music has had since his untimely death.

Adam Savage loves the Onewheel electric skateboard. He's owned every model the company has made, logging hundreds of miles and giving them plenty of abuse along the way.

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.
