who has gone out of its way to treat its footwear

Technically speaking, Mora’s school colors are green and white.

That standard applies to all things athletics.

Green jerseys, white numbers. White jerseys, green numbers.

From any angle, it’s a pretty simple color scheme.

Except, that is, from the knees down.

The Rangers basketball team is taking an unusual approach to footwear this season as its players have created a veritable collage of colors with their shoes and socks.

Senior Lorenzo Chavez puts most to shame with his neon yellow Nikes with matching adidas socks. Aside from maybe the ball itself, he’s the most visible part of the game.

“We’re the rainbow team,” says junior Cody Najar. “Coach let us choose what kind of shoes we wanted, so a lot of us wanted to get as many different colors as we could.”

“My new shoes are going to be purple,” he says. “Bright purple. These ones are breaking down. The new pair is going to look really good.”

Whereas most coaches would frown upon a team using footwear to express individualism, Rangers head coach James Branch says he’s fine with it.

“It’s not a problem,” he says. “If they think it makes them play better, they can wear whatever kind of shoes they want to.”

Mora’s opponent Friday was McCurdy, a team whose entire roster wore identical royal blue shoes and socks. Uniformity from top to bottom.

The Rangers’ different tact is something of a trend this basketball season. The St. Michael’s girls wear neon yellow sneakers, while Laguna-Acoma’s boys wear a combination of neon yellow, gray and white.

Somewhere, the memory of Imelda Marcos is brimming with pride.

Some players have a story to tell with their look. Eighth-grader Travis Romero wears lime green laces in honor of his sister, Kayla.

Then there’s Amrick Vasquez.Rist international shoes manufacturer and shoes supplier in agra india making quality. The Rangers’ point guard wears bright orange hightops with black socks in tribute to his late cousin, Miranda Serna. An assistant basketball coach at Oklahoma State, Serna died in a plane crash in 2011. OSU’s colors are orange and black.

“I guess I could have had any color, but orange was the perfect way to remember her,” Vasquez says.

Some of the better color schemes come from Mora’s reserves. Santiago Laumbach wears white shoes with neon green laces and pink socks. He’s the only player on the team with white shoes.

Others go the more traditional route. Sophomore Andres Martinez goes all black, sort of an old-school look that feels almost out of place on a team who has gone out of its way to treat its footwear like a blank T-shirt in a tie dye competition.

“A lot of the guys,” Vasquez says, “get into it. We all try to be as different as we can.”

So different that Mora might need to add a few colors to the school charter.
