As we already predicted, the newest cosmetic in Fortnite will be "Kicks" and if the name itself doesn't make it clear enough, the first "Kicks"-collab with Nike Jordan is all about shoes.

Epic Games constantly pumps more and more stuff into Fortnite to keep players interested and the list of collabs and cosmetics for skins, gliders, emotes, weapons and a lot of other stuff gets longer and longer by the month.

After a recent leak Epic Games now finally announced the newest cosmetic in the game. And to welcome "Kicks" in the game, the new collaboration with Nike Jordan was also introduced. Starting November 12, players can purchase or unlock an initial lineup of Nike and Jordan shoes.

The content of the collab

Since we don't have a lot of official information so far, there is still rumors and claims made by some leakers, like the collaboration will contain the new cosmetic as well as a lot of different sneakers like the Jordan 1s, Jordan 4s and Nike Cortez.

Since we already got multiple bundles, including an Air Maxx glider, this isn’t the first collab between Nike and Fortnite.

The new shoe cosmetic

Come November 12, Kicks will be available in Fortnite – but not across the whole board yet. Epic Games mentioned that Kicks will be available across 500 "of the most popular Fortnite Outfits" to start with, but there’s a goal to have 95% of all outfits be compatible by spring 2025.

As usual, you should take all information that is not directly from Epic Games with a grain of salt – but we will keep you updated the moment Epic Games gives out more information about the new cosmetic or the collaboration with Nike Jordan.
