Although controversial at first, in-game shoes are now a big part of the Item Shop. Interestingly, Epic Games just granted a pair of free kicks to some players, and you may have also received them. To check, simply launch Fortnite and take a look in your locker. If you can’t get in the game, our article will help you figure out if you’re eligible for free Kicks or not. Fortnite sent free Kicks to players On Monday night, just after announcing the v34.40 update, Fortnite began distributing free Kicks to players. Specifically, those who owned the Rap Boy Reloaded skin received a pair of Air Jordan 3 SE “Unite” shoes. These shoes were given out because Eminem’s Remix skin already comes with them, and now players who received the shoes can use them on other skins too. Eminem’s Rap Boy Reloaded skin was released during the Remix season and was last available on February 5. When it comes back, it will likely include Kicks, which are a decent bonus item. Many Fortnite players received free Kicks. Image by VideoGamer Earlier this year, Fortnite leakers revealed a new feature that was in development. This feature would turn built-in shoes into separate cosmetic items. In other words, players would receive a pair of Kicks with a purchase of eligible skins. For example, by purchasing the Rap Boy Reloaded skin, players would receive Air Jordan 3 SE “Unite” Kicks, while a purchase of Renegade Raider would grant boots. At the moment, there is no revealed release date for this feature. However, with Fortnite Chapter 6 – Season 3 coming on May 2, the release might be around the corner. The leaked feature has the potential to boost Kicks’ popularity and drive skin sales. Because of this, we’re eager for it to be released soon.
