Alamo City\u2019s biggest Spurs fans will now be doing the Lord\u2019s work in some more comfortable kicks. SAS Shoes<\/a> has gifted the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco new sneakers as a thank you for their community service and unwavering dedication to the NBA Western Conference champs.<\/p>\n

The sisters have become a global phenomenon after one of the members prayed over center Luke Kornet, a devout Catholic, during Game 4 of the Spurs\u2019 playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder (booooo). Since then, many locals have considered the habit-wearing megafans good omens, immortalizing them in memes<\/a> and (ahem, bootleg) merch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the order isn\u2019t only known for giving Kornet the wings to make a championship-worthy block. The long-time West Side order runs an elementary school, offers services for women at risk, and runs a weekday camp for area youth during the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Antonio\u2019s favorite sisters, now in even more comfort,\u201d wrote SAS Shoes in a social media post<\/a>. \u201cTheir joy, kindness, and spirit have captured hearts across the country, and we couldn\u2019t be happier to see all the love they\u2019re receiving.\u201d<\/p>\n

In keeping with the sister\u2019s devotional dress, the shoes were equally understated \u2014 black with tasteful silver topstitching.<\/p>\n

Although the sisters have only recently gone viral, the Spurs’ support isn\u2019t anything new. Sr. Bernadette Mota, director of mission advancement for the order and a former basketball coach, told Christian publication Sojourners<\/a> that the fandom started around 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a couple elder sisters at our provincial house, our retirement house for our sisters who need assisted living,\u201d she explained. \u201cSome of them were born and raised in San Antonio, and anytime there was a game on, they would watch it. And they would get very irritated when the game had to be turned off because it was bedtime.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other sisters began watching games to connect with the youth they serve.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word whether there will be any divine intervention in the Spurs\u2019 first game against the New York Knicks, held at the Frost Bank Center on Wednesday, June 3. But, DJ Quake<\/a>, if you\u2019re listening, nothing pumps up an arena like \u201cJoyful, Joyful.\u201d<\/p>\n
