Fortnite Launches Nike and Jordan Sneakers with Customization Features

The new Kicks feature debuts today, offering iconic virtual footwear at premium prices, with limited compatibility at launch.

Fortnite's Kicks feature introduces customizable Nike and Jordan sneakers, marking a new level of in-game character personalization.
The initial lineup includes popular styles like the Nike Cortez OG, Air Foamposite One 'Galaxy,' and Air Jordan 11 'Bred,' priced between 600 and 1,000 V-Bucks.
Season 2 Remix Pass owners receive exclusive Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Black Toe Reimagined' sneakers and a bonus emote available until December 1.
Kicks are compatible with 500 skins at launch, with Epic Games aiming for 95% compatibility by spring 2025, though certain skins may remain unsupported.
Player backlash has emerged over high prices and limited compatibility, with concerns about Fortnite's broader strategy for cosmetic monetization.
