No, it’s not a drug-induced hallucination or a twisted media promotion campaign (though it’s certainly good marketing for an American shoe brand). Epic Games has released a cosmetic item called Kicks in Fortnite this November. The novel feature allows players to customize their character and choose the shoes they wear. That’s why Zuko can now reasonably (and completely legally) wear Nike sneakers in a battle royale game.
Fortnite launched Kicks with a circumscribed selection of shoes will be released in two drops. Drop one includes four different pairs of shoes at different prices. The basic white leather Nike shoes cost 800 V-Bucks, while the fancy galaxy high tops cost 1,000 V-Bucks. (Personally, I think the Chomp Stompers shark slippers look the cutest and are cheaper at 600 V-Bucks.)
Kicks are quite exorbitant as far as in-game items go. Players can get 1,000 V-Bucks for $8.99 and have already done so criticized the price for being too exorbitant. Moreover, Kicks is only compatible with circumscribed Fortnite character list. For example, you can customize footwear for Satoru Gojo and John Wick, but not Avatar Aang. All things considered, there are enough character and shoe combinations for people to create some pretty goofy looks.
