Fortnite has refunded players who acquired a skin wearing a purchasable set of kicks, generating a rumor that shoes will soon be offered as separate cosmetics like Back Blings. Fortnite introduced players to Kicks back in November 2024, and while some found it to be a strange addition at first, it didn't take long before it grew on many, especially once more options became available. The Jordan Air 1s were the first pair of Kicks to make it to Fortnite as a reward for those who completed the Dynamo TNTina Quests, available through the Chapter 2 Remix Battle Pass. However, not long after they became available, more pairs of kicks were released in the Item Shop.
