If you thought one way or another Fortnite didn’t have enough cosmetic items before with pickaxes, back blings, skins, four categories of musical instruments and wraps, Epic Games confirmed in a Fortnite news article it’s a completely new element. As first seen in the Fortnite Remix trailer at the end of The Prelude live event, shoes are being added as a new cosmetic category with the launch of Fortnite Remix.

These will range from collaborations with existing shoe brands like Nike to original designs from Epic Games that are just as silly as classic Fortnite skins. Starting November 12, 2024, alongside Fortnite update 32.10, players will be able to unlock a pair of Nike Air Jordans as part of the Fortnite Remix Pass (this mini-season’s battle pass).

While nothing is confirmed, Epic also asked players to “watch out for other brands joining the lineup in the future,” meaning the door is open to brands like Adidas, Sketchers, Converse, and hopefully -the, Heelys, who will join Fortnite later. double.
