Araña is known for wearing pink shoes during his games. In his second year in the league, he started wearing pink shoes in honor of his aunt who is a survivor of breast cancer.{{Cite web |last=Sacamos |first=Karlo |date=December 19, 2016 |title=Ryan Araña switches from pink to yellow kicks as 'pahiyang' for hard-luck Mahindra |url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/ryan-arana-switches-from-pink-to-yellow-shoes-to-change-mahindra-fortunes |access-date=November 7, 2022 |website=Spin.ph |language=en}} With the positive feedback from social media, he continued wearing those shoes and donated half of his bonuses to a breast cancer foundation. In his time with the Mahindra Enforcer, he switched from wearing his pink shoes to wearing yellow shoes, as a sign that he was changing his image and his play style from being a slasher to a shooter. When his father died in 2020, he wore pink customized Nikes as a tribute to him.{{Cite web |date=October 9, 2020 |title=Araña pays homage to late dad with customized pink shoes |url=https://mb.com.ph/2020/10/09/arana-pays-homage-to-late-dad-with-customized-pink-shoes/ |access-date=November 7, 2022 |website=Manila Bulletin |language=en-US}}
