Fortnite is about to add Kicks to the game, which are shoe cosmetics players can wear.

Fortnite has added its newest feature: Kicks. And yes, these are shoes that players can wear in the game. So, when do Kicks release? And what shoes will players be able to add to their favorite skin? Here is everything we know about Kicks in Fortnite.

Kicks added to Fortnite

Kicks are an all-new feature in the Fortnite Locker, where players can put cosmetics on their skin and wear them while playing the game. Like Back Blings, Kicks are meant to go with your Fortnite skin, helping you look flashy when wandering the Battle Royale's island.

However, it is important to remember that Kicks, like other cosmetics, do not give players any advantage in-game. Fortnite is not a pay-to-win video game.

Kicks will be compatible with over 500 different skins in the game. The game announced it plans to have almost all skins compatible with the new cosmetics by Spring 2025.

Release date

Kicks will officially come to Fortnite on November 21, 2024.

  • Air Jordan 11 ‘Black/Gym Red’
  • Air Jordan 3 Retro ‘Palomino’
  • Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘Manila’
  • Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ 

Fortnite will also include an original pair of Kicks:

Will Kicks be available in other game modes?

As of now, Kicks will only be available in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Creative modes. Save the World, Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival will not currently include the new cosmetic.

Fortnite will also give first-time buyers of Kicks a free emote tomorrow when gamers purchase the shoes. Make sure to hop into the game and grab your Kicks right away!
