Recent updates
After Fortnite Kicks were delayed to November 13 to coincide with the v32.10 update, and then further delayed to work on a visual issue, we now have confirmation of a November 21 release date for Kicks.
Fortnite Kicks are a highly anticipated addition to customization, making a fresh option available in lockers for players to modify their look for the first time in years, but there have been several delays in adding them due to issues encountered ahead of launch. Epic are now ready to leave those problems in the past, and we have confirmation that Fortnite Kicks launch on November 21, so you can get that fancy footwear on your feet.
This means that if you've already received the Air Jordan 1 High OG Black Toe Reimagined reward in game after the v32.10 update, you can equip those Fortnite Kicks on any of your characters as soon as they go live. At that point you'll be able to add shoes to most of your outfits, from well known footwear brands such as Nike and Jordan (with more to follow in the future) as well as Original Kicks based on Fortnite designs. If you're looking for more information on when you can get your Kicks in Fortnite, then here's what you need to know.
When will Fortnite Kicks be available?
The launch of this new cosmetic item was delayed from November 13 while a visual issue was worked on, but Fortnite Kicks are now confirmed to be available from November 21. Once added to the game, the Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe Reimagined will be available with the Remix Pass, and they will also be added to a new section of the Item Shop. Initially the offerings will include Nike and Jordan brands, with more set to join the lineup in the future. There will also be Fortnite Original Kicks dropping, with the first pair of Chomp Stompers shark slippers (pictured above) arriving in the Item Shop at launch. The following Fortnite Kicks will be available in the Item Shop from November 21:
- Nike Air Foamposite One Galaxy – 1,000 V-Bucks
- Nike Cortez Leather OG – 800 V-Bucks
- Nike Shox R4 Comet Red – 1,000 V-Bucks
- Chomp Stompers – 600 V-Bucks
Can Fortnite Kicks be used with all Outfits?
Epic have been working hard to make sure that Fortnite Kicks can be used with as many different Outfits as possible, though this is a big undertaking as it means many character models have had to be tweaked or resigned to accommodate changing footwear. According to their announcement, "Kicks will be compatible with over 500 of the most popular Fortnite Outfits to start, with more than 95% of Outfits compatible by Spring of next year." Naturally, there will be a small number of Outfits that will be difficult or impossible to accommodate Kicks with, but for the most part there will be compatibility across the board. Epic have now released a full compatibility list for which outfits you can use with Kicks in Fortnite, if you want to check your favorite look is on there.
