Glory be to Sister Jean’s signature Prayer Jordans
These shoes were made for balling.
No. 11 seed and tournament Cinderella Loyola Chicago is taking on No. 9 Kansas State in Saturday’s Elite Eight round in Atlanta, and the Ramblers’ team chaplain and de facto mascot, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, is of course in attendance.
As are, one assumes, her customized Nike kicks.
Sister Jean is ready for the #Sweet16

“Air Sister Jeans” is fine as far as it goes, but it holds nowhere near the staying power of, say, “Prayer Jordans.” Sister Jean’s shoes are now and will forever hereafter be known as Prayer Jordans. Please update your style guides. Thank you.
