Fortnite Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Kicks

What Are Kicks in Fortnite?

Kicks are the newest cosmetic addition to Fortnite, allowing players to personalize their characters’ footwear. They’re essentially stylish shoes that replace the default footwear or bare feet of your chosen character. This range of designs, from iconic brand collaborations to unique Fortnite-inspired styles, allows for a huge variety of looks. This feature greatly enhances the personalization options within the game, adding another layer of customization beyond outfits.

How to Get Kicks in Fortnite

Acquiring Kicks involves two primary methods:

• Battle Pass: Some Kicks can be unlocked by progressing through the Battle Pass. This may involve reaching specific tiers or completing quests.
• Item Shop: Like other cosmetic items, Kicks are purchasable through the Item Shop using Fortnite V-Bucks. Always verify compatibility with your chosen skin before purchase.

Battle Pass

Unlocking Kicks through the Battle Pass is a rewarding way to earn exclusive items. Completing specific quests and reaching certain tiers can unlock these stylish footwear additions. The Battle Pass offers a dynamic way to acquire Kicks and other cosmetics throughout the season.

Item Shop

The Item Shop is your primary source for acquiring Kicks with V-Bucks. Keep an eye out for the latest drops and promotions to snag your favorite designs. Confirming compatibility prior to purchase is essential to avoid disappointment.

How to Equip Kicks in Fortnite

Equipping Kicks is a straightforward process:

Access the Locker

Navigate to your Locker from the main game menu. The Locker houses your cosmetic items.

Select the “Character” Tab

Inside the Locker, select the “Character” tab to view your available character skins.

Find the Shoe Symbol

Locate the shoe icon, which usually sits prominently near the character’s feet. Click it to open the Kicks selection.

Open the roster and click “Sort Filters”

Sort the available outfits by using the ‘Kicks Usable’ filter to quickly see all skins currently compatible with the Kicks.

Why Kicks May Be Hidden When Equipped

If a message displays, indicating that Kicks are “Hidden when equipped with Outfit,” it means your chosen outfit isn’t currently compatible. Consult Epic Games’ official support resources to check for compatible outfits.

The First Pair of Kicks

The initial Kicks release in Fortnite featured the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Black Toe Reimagined’, debuting during the Fortnite Remix season in November 2024. This was a significant addition, extending the cosmetic options for players.

Final Thoughts

Kicks provide a fresh, stylish approach to personalizing characters in Fortnite. With more outfit compatibilities and new shoe drops anticipated, Kicks will undoubtedly continue to be a vital cosmetic enhancement within the game.
