No, this isn’t some drug-induced hallucination or twisted cross-media promotional marketing campaign (though it’s definitely good advertising and marketing 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. That is why Zuko can fairly (and fully legally) put on Nike sneakers in a battle royale sport now.
Fortnite launched Kicks with a restricted choice of sneakers that can be launched in two drops. Drop one accommodates 4 totally different pairs of sneakers with various costs. The fundamental white leather-based Nike trainers price 800 V-bucks, whereas the flowery galaxy-patterned excessive tops price 1,000 V-bucks. (Personally, I believe the Chomp Stompers shark slippers look the cutest, they usually’re inexpensive at 600 V-bucks.)
Kicks are fairly dear so far as in-game gadgets go. Gamers can get 1,000 V-bucks for for $8.99, they usually have already criticized the pricing for being too costly. On prime of that, Kicks are solely suitable with a restricted record 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 stated, there are simply sufficient character and shoe combos to permit folks to place collectively some fairly goofy appears to be like.
