Imagine if nobody talked about this stupid sneaker, and as a consequence it had no value as a collectable.
This. If you want to see it go away quit screaming about it. The controversy will indeed drive up the price by making it more "collectible".
The shoes are custom, Nike didn’t have any say in producing them. In fact, they are scrambling to distance themselves from Nas X and MSCHF (they made the shoes).

Remember the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s?
It’s just that. The fact that you are getting worked up about it like a scared parent means it’s working.
