Fortnite is bringing

Fortnite has transcended the boundaries of gaming, evolving into a cultural juggernaut that effortlessly integrates into the world of real-life merchandise. Epic Games has forged exciting partnerships with leading brands such as Hasbro that have transformed in-game items into real-world collectibles, including Nerf blasters inspired by the legendary Scar and Rocket Launcher.

Epic Games has thrilled its fanbase by bringing beloved in-game cosmetics to life, transforming iconic items like Pickaxes and Boogie Bomb into toys that are ideal for cosplay. In another crossover, lifestyle collaborations such as Fortnite-themed Crocs seamlessly integrate the game’s striking visuals into everyday fashion, allowing players to embody the vibrant spirit.

Recent leaks in the gaming community indicate that Epic is gearing up to elevate the experience with the launch of “Kicks,” an in-game footwear cosmetic that’s set to bridge the gap between virtual and real-world shoes. Rumors are swirling about an upcoming collaboration with a leading footwear brand, igniting a wave of anticipation among fans.

Fortnite-themed Adidas kicks leaked to hit shelves and Item Shop

According to trusted leaker Loolo, Fortnite is releasing four new shoes with leading footwear brand Adidas on March 22, 2025. The limited-edition shoes will be released in all Adidas outlets and website, as well as will also arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop as Kicks cosmetics.

The four shoes leaked are as follows:

Battle Ready shoes with Imagined Order and Storm Chasers design with yellow and black stripes.

Fishstick-themed Orange shoes with Fishstick’s eyeballs stuck near the shoe foxing.

Llama-themed shoes with golden Adidas stripes and a Gold Victory Crown Llama near the shoe collar linings.

Peely themed shoes with a detachable yellow “peelable” cover using a zipper.

After the leak went viral on social media, several Fortnite players had an opinion on their design as well as the release. One such player wrote, “They look somewhat cool but they look like kid sizing. Although I’m interested in the vic royale shoe.”

Another chimed in, “I was like nah but then I saw Fishstick eyes and was like oop!” A third player said, “They would be fools not to include a code to redeem the shoes in-game with the purchase of the real shoes.”

While it isn’t clear whether the owners of the physical shoes would receive a redeemable code for the same in-game Kicks, players are still quite skeptical about spending money on the in-game cosmetic item due to their high pricing in the shop.
