The athletes were shot at the North Houston Skate Park and The Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden by photographer James Macari, with their strappy suits showing off their amazingly toned bodies to the fullest extent.
This year’s swimsuit issue will be celebrated with the first annual VIBES by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, a music, food and culture festival held in Houston Feb. 17 and 18. The festival will include performances by Diplo and Miguel, as well as food prepared by master chefs in the area.
