Vans Sneakers are Available to Purchase in Fortnite as Kicks
Published
The Web3 and NFT craze is long gone, but footwear brands have come to understand virtual sneakers' power on the younger generations. Enter Fortnite, which is well-known, even to non-players, for teaming up with everyone to do collaborative in-game skins and cosmetics. After kicking off the in-game Kicks program with Nike and Jordan Brand, soon following this up with adidas and Crocs, Fortnite is now adding four iconic Vans designs to the game.
The four Vans sneakers in Fortnite include the Vans Premium Old Skool Crystal Blue Gum, which came as part of the brand’s Music Collection, the Vans Checkerboard Slip-On, Vans Authentic Red, and Sk8-Hi Navy Blue. Each comes identical to its real-life counterpart but can be worn by virtually all in-game skins in Fortnite.
The Vans x Fortnite Kicks Collection will be available starting today, April 14, 2025, through April 22. Each pair will retail for 800 V-Bucks (around $7). Check below for images of the four Vans sneakers in the Fortnite Item Shop, and download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
