Fortnite Kicks x Adidas Collaboration: New Sneakers, Pricing, and Community Reactions

Epic Games is back with another round of Fortnite Kicks, and this time, they’ve teamed up with Adidas! After launching the Kicks line in late 2024, Fortnite is expanding its sneaker game with some fresh new options for players who love both gaming and fashion.

What Are Fortnite Kicks?

If you’re out of the loop, Fortnite Kicks are a new cosmetic category that lets players customize their characters with real-life-inspired sneakers. Unlike full skins that change your entire look, Kicks work more like Back Bling, meaning you can mix and match them with most outfits.

The first wave of Nike Kicks and original Fortnite designs already made waves, and now, Adidas is stepping into the game with three iconic sneaker models.

The Adidas Kicks Lineup

The new Adidas Fortnite Kicks come in three styles, each based on a real Adidas sneaker:

• Adidas Samba (Black) – Classic street-style kicks inspired by soccer shoes.
• Adidas Adizero Aruku (Grey) – A 2000s-inspired trainer with a chunky, futuristic sole.
• Adidas Campus 00s (Red) – A retro-style sneaker with a throwback tennis vibe.

Each pair costs 800 V-Bucks, and for those looking for extra flair, the Fluffy Buns design is back in the store with a new style for 600 V-Bucks.

 

 

Community Reactions: Love It or Hate It?

As expected, Fortnite fans had a lot to say about the new Adidas drop.

The Good:

Sneakerheads loved it! Many Adidas fans were hyped to see their favorite shoes in the game.
Mix-and-match madness! Some players joked about pairing their Adidas Kicks with Fortnite’s Nike skins—because why not?

The Not-So-Good:

Price complaints. At 800 V-Bucks per pair, many players feel the Kicks cost as much as full-body skins, which makes them a tough sell.

Final Thoughts

Fortnite’s Kicks lineup keeps growing, and while Adidas is a solid addition, the pricing debate continues. If Epic wants to get more players rocking these virtual sneakers, they might need to drop the cost a bit.
