Fortnite – Kicks

Four classic sneakers will arrive in the first week of drops and will be in the shop from November 21 to 26. Step back in time with the Nike Cortez OG, reach for the stars with the Nike Air Foamposite, rev things up a notch with the Nike Shox R4, or rep your inner shark with the Chomp Stompers. From November 22 to 26, it's all about the legendary Air Jordan, with four new pairs arriving in the Shop. Slip on the classic Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Palomino', opt for the iconic Air Jordan 3 'Black Cement-Gray' or embrace the beloved style of the Air Jordan 11 'Black/Gym Red' and prestigious Air Jordan 4 Retro 'Manila'.

The arrival of Kicks will be marked by a free universal 'Show 'Em Off' emote! Just head to the shop between November 21 at 7 PM ET and December 1 at 7 PM ET to claim it for 0 V-Bucks. Kick out those Kicks and flaunt your collection to friends and foes alike.

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, Save the World, with Player Reference or Dance Mannequin Devices in Creative or UEFN, nor in LEGO or Fall Guys Creator Islands. When purchasing a new pair of Kicks from the Shop, you can click on the new Kicks Usability button on the product page to see which Outfits in your Locker are compatible with Kicks.
