Summary

  • Fortnite may introduce shoes as a new customizable option, possibly available individually or in bundles.
  • Previous collaborations with brands like Nike and Adidas show the potential for future collaborations with other brands for shoe cosmetic options.
  • Epic Games has yet to officially reveal shoe cosmetics, so these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt for now.

A Fortnite leak suggests that shoes are the next customization option coming to the game. Fortnite offers players many customization options to choose between, and a new one may be introduced in the near future.

Fortnite is in the middle of its annual Fortnitemares event, which brought with it new Halloween-themed skins and points of interest, unique quests and rewards, and the returning Horde Rush game mode. The next season is set to begin on November 2, and there's a lot of speculation as to what it may be. Many players anticipate the sequel to Fortnite OG, which should focus on Chapter 2 instead of Chapter 1, and has been teased by Epic. A recent Fortnite leak indicates that shoes will be added as a new cosmetic option introduced shortly, potentially in Chapter 6.

Known Fortnite leaker HypeX recently shared a post in which they suggested that Epic Games will add shoes to the game's cosmetic options. According to HypeX, these shoes will be sold individually or in shop bundles. The V-Buck price of these items hasn't yet been confirmed, but it could cost around the same as a Harvesting Tool or Back Bling. These range between 200 and 1,500 V-Bucks depending on the rarity. Because Fortnite Battle Passes are known to include a variety of cosmetics, a Chapter 6 Battle Pass could potentially include the new option. Seasonal rewards also often include cosmetics like Skins and Contrails, with shoes being another possible free unlock in the future.

Shoes Could Be the Next Fortnite Cosmetic Item

Fortnite has introduced many new cosmetic options since it was released, including Back Blings, Fortnite Festival instruments, vehicle customizations, and more. The game has already collaborated with Nike and Adidas; crossovers that include Skins, Gliders, and more. A rumor also suggests that Crocs are coming to the game in the future, potentially as one of the new cosmetic items. As there are many different shoe brands, this cosmetic could open the door for future collaborations. The game is also known for featuring customizable Skins, a concept that could theoretically be applied to shoes that would allow players to change their color or design.

While many gamers have shared this Fortnite rumor, leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt. As Epic Games hasn't verified the leak or teased a shoe cosmetic, the change may never come to fruition. As Epic continues to update Fortnite, more cosmetic options could be released in future seasons.
