Fortnite is no stranger to having ties to footwear, as we’ve seen Jordan, Nike, and adidas sneakers in-game through purchasable skins (and soon-to-be adidas apparel IRL), as well as a recent Crocs collaboration that brought the Battle Bus, Peely, and Cuddle Team Leader to life. However, according to the Fortnite info account Shiina on X, Nike and Jordan Brand are launching a collab during the next season that will allow you to put sneakers on different skins in the game.
While there are some customizable options for select skins in Fortnite, usually changing colors or adding specific effects to the skin, this new collab with Nike and Jordan Brand will allow you to place sneaker models on different skins. Shiina states in their tweet that some examples include the Jordan 1, Jordan 4, and Nike Cortez.
Currently, a handful of skins Air Jordan models, including Travis Scott, who sports his Air Jordan 1 High collab. We have also seen Jordan Brand add the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey as a backbling and on the feet of select skins, and Nike is bringing the Air Max DN and Air Max 1 to the game. These skins can’t change their footwear, which goes for all other skins in the game. Exactly which skins you can customize with Nike and Jordan sneakers remains a mystery.
It’s unknown exactly when this Nike/Jordan Brand and Fortnite collab will be added to the game, but it is expected to be released during the early part of the game’s next season, dubbed Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2. This new season will bring back Fortnite OG, a game mode that adds the original map and items for a limited time but will focus on Fortnite Chapter 2. The cost of the sneakers that will be added to the game also has not been revealed.
