No, this isn’t some drug-induced hallucination or twisted cross-media promotional marketing campaign (though it’s actually good advertising for the American shoe model). Epic Video games launched a beauty merchandise referred to as Kicks in Fortnite this November. The brand new function permits gamers to customise their character and select which sneakers they put on. Because of this Zuko can fairly (and fully legally) put on Nike sneakers in a battle royale recreation now.
Fortnite launched Kicks with a restricted collection of sneakers that might be launched in two drops. Drop one incorporates 4 completely different pairs of sneakers with various costs. The essential white leather-based Nike trainers value 800 V-bucks, whereas the flowery galaxy-patterned excessive tops value 1,000 V-bucks. (Personally, I believe the Chomp Stompers shark slippers look the cutest, and so they’re inexpensive at 600 V-bucks.)
Kicks are fairly expensive so far as in-game gadgets go. Gamers can get 1,000 V-bucks for for $8.99, and so they have already criticized the pricing for being too costly. On high of that, Kicks are solely suitable with a restricted checklist of Fortnite characters. For instance, you possibly can customise the footwear for Satoru Gojo and John Wick, however not Avatar Aang. That every one being mentioned, there are simply sufficient character and shoe combos to permit folks to place collectively some fairly goofy seems to be.
