Yet another wholesale release of footwear into the metaverse lends another string of frenzy into the fan base. From meme-worthy Crocs to boosted-up Nike Air Force 1s flaunting that Vegas flair, this collection will definitely put to shame all the default dance battles that went on at the peak of Tilted Towers.
What started by an iFireMonkey (the famous Fortnite leaker) tweet naming the list of shoes sent gamers insane, reacting as if they had just found a gold scar in their very first chest. Interested in the spotlight placed on the Crocs Classic Marbled Clog ‘Tinted Glass’ (because who knows?), Rubber Ducky Clog (yes, just like the bath toy), and Nike Air Force 3 Nigo ‘White’ – nothing but the sickest kind of flex for your digital feet.
But if there ever were a spectacle, it had to be O.X.R. Combat Boots. Players are starting to affectionately call them “Shadow’s shoes” (in reference to the game’s dark and mysterious vibe), and some are well on their way to spending their hard-earned V-Bucks to acquire them. Edog commented, “I might has to buy them something if I get v bucks”, and our wholeheartedly response might just be, “same.”
Not everyone is a believer! Duck, yes, that Duck, gave a sniff of cold reality by saying, “These crocs would go harder if they weren’t so damn expensive”. Isn’t that ever so true when it comes to Fortnite cosmetics? MaterialGxrl, meanwhile, was demanding heels for female skins because apparently, even a battle royale doesn’t excuse one from fashion being painful.
Nuts had begun in the replies. Someone beside the table screamed, “WHERE IS AGENT WEB!?!?” and, honestly, that would totally be the vibing. Others were just spamming with drooling emojis. And of course, one should never forget the poetry that Pulse FC rose for us: “Nike cooking while Crocs just… quacking.”
The real question now: When does it drop? Marns, with all the real, no-bullshit energy, asked, “Are they out?” And frankly, the answer is, “We do not know.” But if there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that Fortnite is so good at surprise-drops: remember how they just yeeted a volcano onto the map?
So, Rubber Ducky Crocs, or are you going to flex just a little with an AF1 Las Vegas joint? Either way, your locker just got crazy interesting. And really? We are here to support that.
Oh, and a shoutout to James for calling Coral Castle “the goat song” in the original tweet. Because even in a footwear leak, vibes matter.
Right, am I right? I think we are back to debating if Crocs even have a place in a shooter. What was I saying? Oh yeah, that Fortnite really does have the best shoe game ever. Drop that mic. Or sneaker.
