The iconic athlete and wellness leader joins forces with the science-based footwear brand to redefine wellbeing from the ground up. ST. LOUIS, August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vionic, the footwear brand rooted in biomechanics and the science of movement and a lead brand in the Caleres (NYSE: CAL) portfolio, introduces its first-ever well-being ambassador: Gabby Reece. A world-class athlete and wellness advocate, she believes everyone is an athlete, not by physical definition but by mindset. In this role, Reece brings her philosophy centered around movement as the vital tool for wellbeing to Vionic. She is featured in the brand's fall campaign and content vehicles. The partnership underscores Vionic's commitment and distinction in creating footwear equally rooted in science and style. "Vionic has tremendous long-term potential, unique authority in science-backed movement and an unwavering commitment to innovation. As we honor and build upon the Vionic brand heritage, we look to deepen its distinction and expand its relevance in ways that are both authentic and hard to replicate," said Jay Schmidt, president and chief executive officer of Caleres. "Vionic's partnership with Gabby Reece illustrates our lead brand strategy in action and reflects our focus on long-term brand-building that drives value over time." A beach volleyball legend, bestselling author, podcast host, and co-founder of Laird Superfood, Reece brings a lifelong dedication to movement, balance, and high-performance living to her role as Vionic's ambassador. She personifies the brand's core values of strength, resilience, innovation and its belief that wellbeing starts with movement. "I believe what you put on your feet in the morning matters. This isn't just a collaboration - it's a commitment to redefining well-being from the ground up," said Reece. "Vionic understands that function is not a compromise - it's the foundation. When paired with thoughtful, beautiful design, that's when it truly works. I've worn Vionic shoes for years, so joining the brand in a meaningful way feels like a natural fit." As part of her ambassador role, Reece will create engaging content, lead conversations around well-being, and collaborate with the Vionic team to design the brand's most high-performance and technologically advanced walking shoe to date. Reece made history as the first female athlete to design a shoe for Nike. From that iconic partnership to this one, Reece understands the importance of form and function, a common theme throughout her life. The design of the sneaker captures Reece's belief in strength and grace in equal measure and a reflection of a commitment to show up for yourself every day.

The Timeless Torches Are Dance Warriors. We Need Them.

'Be your best cheerleader!' Christy Tolbert, also known as Coach Christy, was urging the Timeless Torches to move with confidence. To complete shapes. To use their plié in a deeper way that would create the necessary momentum to spiral into a spin. 'It's never too late to feel like an Ailey dancer,' Tolbert said during a recent rehearsal at Ripley-Grier, a Midtown studio. 'Stop limiting yourself, telling yourself you can't do something.' A performance by the Timeless Torches, the dance team of the New York Liberty, is a shot of adrenaline, a burst of vitality. Some numbers lean funny; others are more fierce. All insist on the power of movement as the foundation for a full life. In a way, what these dancers offer is bigger than dancing. But dance is their expression, and dance they do. On a recent night at Barclays Center, the dancers — men and women, ages 40 and up — met center court. They stood still, their gazes down and hands held low in front of their bodies. The opening notes to Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' began to play. Separated into four groups, each responded to Lamar's lyrics — an aggressive leg spiral, a runway walk with rippling arms, a blast of fast footwork — before arriving, via a triplet march, into a wedge formation. Here they exploded as one, crossing their feet and hopping in place in crystalline unison. It was tremendous. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
