SAN ANTONIO – When thinking about what to wear on your feet for a basketball game, the pressure is high to not only look good but also let what you wear represent your style.

For McCollum senior guard Jeremiah Zurita, he wanted to pay homage to his basketball career by wearing two different colored shoes.

On his left foot, a blue and white shoe with a Blue Devils logo representing his first AAU team. On his right foot, a shoe decorated with his McCollum high school colors and logo, where his career ended.

When asked why the two shoes were different, Zurita told KSAT that he wanted one foot to represent where his basketball career began and one where it’s ending, for now.

Zurita and the 1A-5A Team White beat Team Blue in the San Antonio Sports All-Star Basketball game.
