Recently, it was leaked that Fortnite was going to get shoes. Now, it seems that the collab will be with Jordan. Here’s what we know about the Fortnite x Jordan shoe collab.
Some skins would be able to wear custom shoes. With so many ways to change a skin, from additional styles to unique back blings, it’s no surprise that now shoes are on the list. The first major domino in this change to the game has finally fallen, though. Epic, who had already worked with them before, has secured a collaboration with Jordan for shoes.

Fortnite Adds Jordan for Shoes
With shoes inevitably becoming the next stage of Fortnite skins, it made sense to wonder what collaborations might be involved. Shoes in Fortnite are an easy thing to implement in terms of crossovers. So, Epic can just work with whatever brand and get their official shoes in the game. They have, according to leaker HYPEX, already landed Jordan.
Jordan was in the game already from an earlier collab that brought in some other cosmetics, but Epic will now have their licensed shoes available.
This likely opens the door for more down the road. Nike had a skin collaboration. It would be a huge surprise if some of their shoes didn’t end up in the Fortnite Item Shop. Other brands may not already have an existing relationship with Fortnite or Epic Games, but they have an excuse to forge one now.
The leak stated that this would happen next season. Assuming that means Remix, then we can expect to see Jordan in the Item Shop and customizable shoes for skins in the next month.
Keep in mind that all of this is leaked, though. The initial shoe leak hasn’t yet been confirmed. That also means that the Jordan leak isn’t. They will eventually show up in the Item Shop if it’s accurate. The fact that there are two connected leaks suggests that the likelihood is high.
