As the beer commercials say, "BRILLIANT".

Unfortunately, the reality of it is that the shoes will probably become collector's items and increase in value. There's a lot of sick puppies out there (pun intended).
Mark my words Mark, this kid will be back and the shoes will be worth something. In fact, I wouldn't doubt if someone (Nike) might just buy them all right now in hopes to resell them later at a higher price. He is argueably the best player the NFL has ever seen, very exciting to watch. He will be back. In fact, he might play in Europe or Canada, this season which would be a mistake if you're Atlanta.
