He donned a short-sleeved, gray shirt as well as a pair of black and white-striped shorts for the image.
In the caption of the joint post which was shared to both the publication and Asghari's main Instagram page, it read, 'MIAMI IS ON FIRE,' followed by a fire emoji.
Sam's latest magazine cover comes shortly after the singer's 'heartbreaking' incident at the Chateau Marmont that sparked new mental health concerns for the star.

Sam is said to have found the situation 'worrisome,' a source recently informed Us Weekly.
Last week, in the early hours of Thursday morning, the pop singer was seen being escorted barefoot out of the iconic hotel with paramedics and ex-felon, Paul Richard Soliz.
The Baby One More Time songstress has since shared her version of the incident and revealed that she twisted her ankle while doing cartwheels outside of her hotel room.
She also expressed that she 'might have to get surgery' on her foot while claiming that she had been 'tricked' into being photographed barefoot while outside the hotel.
'Sam will always have a soft spot for Britney and will always be protective over her,' the insider told the outlet, adding that he, 'is a helper and was there for her in her hardest times. He hopes she is OK.'
Although the former couple 'don't communicate anymore,' Asghari found the latest incident to be 'definitely worrisome.'

'Sam has been down this road with Britney before and knows how she is,' the source expressed, while adding that he 'feels terrible if she is not surrounded by positive people in her life.'
The insider further explained that despite their split, Sam 'will always wish [Spears] the best and would be there for her if she needed him.'
Asghari and Spears recently reached a divorce settlement nine months after their separation, and in the latest update, the Toxic singer will not pay spousal support to the actor.
Later this year on December 2, the pair will officially be declared single - which also happens to be Britney's birthday, according to E! News.
Last week on Thursday, Sam uploaded a smug 'life update' in a new Instagram photo where he struck a pose while shirtless during a hike with his dog.
Some social media users slammed the actor for making the post amid concerns for Britney's mental health and physical wellbeing.
Since the incident, Britney has been active on social media, from giving updates in regards to her injured foot, to posting upbeat dance videos.
On Wednesday, uploaded clips of her dancing which were captioned as 'Cooking', while wearing bikini bottoms and a white crop top.

The songs Sex On Fire and Say It Right played in the background of her videos which had all comments turned off.
Her post came days after Britney sparked concerns among her fans when she injured her ankle during a tumultuous visit to the LA hotel on May 2, while with her rumored felon boyfriend, Paul Soliz.
Sources told DailyMail.com that she hurt herself while doing cartwheels outside of her hotel room.
Insiders revealed to DailyMail.com that Britney had a massive panic attack and 'flipped out' at the Chateau Marmont over fears that her own mother called the paramedics on her, just minutes after she insisted she was mentally fine but had badly injured her ankle.
The singer sparked fears that she was spiraling into a mental breakdown when she was pictured wearing nothing but a blanket and underwear while clutching a pillow as she was escorted out of the celebrity hotspot by paramedics in the early hours.
She later shared pictures of her swollen foot on Instagram, insisting she was not in the midst of an episode, as she accused her own mother Lynne Spears, 60, of a 'set up.'
'I know my mom was involved !!! I haven't talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!!' the Toxic hitmaker wrote.
Insiders claimed Lynne was behind the 911 call and had asked her daughter if she was 'mentally fine' just minutes before.

Britney was crying in pain and she called Lynne in Louisiana to tell her what had happened,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'At the time, Lynne was the only one who knew that she had hurt herself.
'Lynne asked Britney if she was OK mentally and Britney told her mom that she was fine and it was just her ankle.
'Lynne called 911 and told them that Britney was having a breakdown and had injured herself. She knew that Britney was in a traumatized state.'
The estranged duo had recently reconnected following the end of Britney's conservatorship battle with her father Jamie Spears, 71, and the finalization of her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari.
Photographs taken the night of the incident showed the disheveled-looking pop star, barefoot and draped in a blanket - reminiscent of her famous 2008 breakdown that landed her in an involuntary 5150 hold and ultimately led to her 13-year conservatorship.
Explaining her attire, the insider insisted it had nothing to do with her mental state.
'When the ambulance arrived at the Chateau, they went directly to Britney's room and told her that they needed to make sure that she was OK after someone had called the paramedics,' they said.
'When Britney looked out, she saw the ambulance and the gurney and she flipped out. She had a severe panic attack because seeing a gurney for her is traumatizing, for obvious reasons.'
'Britney then grabbed a blanket and a pillow, leaving her belongings at the hotel. She did not have shoes on because her ankle was injured. She was not going to get in an ambulance and was not about to get checked out by them for an injured ankle.'

Britney rubbished claims she had suffered a mental breakdown on Instagram - and posted a video of her swollen ankle. It was later claimed she had been doing cartwheels while drinking alcohol
According to the source, the Toxic singer - who was at the hotel with her 'felon boyfriend' Paul - was determined to flee.
The source continued: 'She said, 'I am getting the f***k out of here.' She walked past the ambulance and got into a ride that was waiting for her out front. 'She did not return to the Chateau.'
Britney rubbished claims she had suffered a mental breakdown on Instagram - and posted a video of her swollen ankle. It was later claimed she had been doing cartwheels while drinking alcohol.
'Paramedics came to the door illegally and caused this huge scene and it was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice,' she said.
The Oops I Did It Again singer started crying and added: 'It is pretty mad but s***t happens.'
Britney and Paul were celebrating her divorce from her third husband Sam getting finalized - where they had a night of heavy drinking.
She had injured her ankle during cartwheels down the hall after they were refused more alcohol at the hotel bar, DailyMail.com sources revealed.
Earlier this week, Speaks gave another update on the situation alongside a video of herself horseback riding. 'I honestly wish my life was as wild as it has been portrayed !!!'
'Either way, some s**t actually has happened to my foot and I might have to get surgery ... fingers crossed, hopefully not but I feel that I was harassed and gaslit and tricked to go on the street when my car was supposed to be there !!!'
'I was in my pajamas and yes, I had been crying because I hurt my foot !!! No breakdown !!! I'm a grown a** woman who is actually very naive in most situations !!!'
'I am simply embarrassed they got me in my damn pajamas !!! I don't feel loved … I feel mistreated !!! With that said, I'm going to treat myself this week !!!' Britney candidly typed to her Instagram followers.

The singer's close friends are also 'wary' of Paul Soliz and his intentions towards the star. Sources told Us Weekly, 'They don't think he's a good fit for her.'
Spears and Soliz first met two years earlier in 2022 when he had been hired to do maintenance at her home.
'They have tried for months to tell her to stop associating with him, but the more they tell her to stay away, it has the reverse effect,' another insider told the outlet. 'She isn't listening to them.'
'People around her have noticed he's bringing her down. There's some concern he is more of a yes man who gives into all of Britney's desires and whims and doesn't say no…[He's]not the best influence.'
