How to get sneakers in Fortnite – no we aren’t making this stuff up, Fortnite Kicks are here

Back bling. Gliders. Banana skin, er skins. All things we have come to take for granted as normal things to buy in Fortnite’s item shop. What haven’t we been able to get before though? A pair of Nike trainers/sneakers. That’s what has been missing from our lives. Well, guess what? Miss out no more.

Should you splurge for the Remix Pass – and remember we told you yesterday that Fortnite Crew was changing to include all basic passes in its monthly subscription fee – you will be granted a set of Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe Reimagined added to our in-game closets.

Just Don’t Do It

But that’s not all because surprise of no surprises a variety of Nike footwear is coming soon to the item shop and you will soon be able to augment your Fortnite feet for real-world cash. The following sneakers are what’s lined up right now and as you won’t be able to get fake versions of these on DHGate you better get your wallet ready.

  • Air Jordan 11 ‘Black/Gym Red’
  • Air Jordan 3 ‘Black Cement-Gray’
  • Air Jordan 3 Retro ‘Palomino’
  • Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Manila’
  • Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’
  • Nike Cortez Leather OG
  • Nike Shox R4 ‘Comet Red’

Fortnite Kicks

So what can you wear them with should you actually decide to burn yet more money on the game? Epic says, “Kicks are standalone cosmetic items that replace the original shoes on compatible outfits. At launch, Kicks will be equipable with over 500 existing outfits, with more than 95% of Outfits expected to be compatible by Spring of 2025. Existing shoes that appear on Outfits are not interchangeable with other Outfits. Kicks do not provide a competitive advantage, and will not be usable in LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, or Save the World.”

How much do Fortnite Kicks cost?

So far, all the ones listed above cost between 800 and 1,000 V Bucks. So if we were to do a quick calculator into actually proper and not fake money that would set you back between $6.99 to $8.99. For some digital shoes. On your Fortnite character.

You guys are killing me.
