How much do Fortnite Kicks cost?

Most pairs in the Item Shop run between 600 and 1,000 V-Bucks depending on the design and brand. Pairs also appear as Battle Pass and event rewards, which is the cheapest way to get them.

Do Kicks work on every skin?

No, but nearly. Compatibility started at around 500 outfits at launch and has grown to roughly 95 percent of the catalogue. The shop page and Locker flag which outfits support the Kicks slot.

Can other players hear my Moments music?

No. Intro and Celebration Moments play only for you. Teammates and opponents hear their own selected music, or the default tracks if they have not set any.

Where do Moments tracks come from?

Any Jam Track you own can be used. Tracks are sold in the Item Shop, usually for 500 V-Bucks, and are also earned through the Fortnite Festival Music Pass.

Fortnite's Locker used to stop at outfits, back bling and gliders. Two newer cosmetic types have filled in the gaps at both ends of a match: Kicks change what is on your character's feet, and Moments change what plays in your ears when you drop in and when you win. Neither affects gameplay, but both are now permanent parts of the cosmetic system, and both confuse new players because they hide in different corners of the Locker.

Kicks: Sneakers for Your Outfits

Kicks arrived in November 2024 alongside the Chapter 2 Remix season. They are exactly what they sound like: a separate shoe slot for your outfit. Instead of whatever footwear a skin was modelled with, you can strap on a pair of trainers. Epic launched the category with real-world brands — Nike and Jordan headline the range — alongside its own original designs like the Chomp Stompers, and new pairs have been added regularly ever since.

How to Get Kicks

There are two main routes. The first pairs of Air Jordans were bundled into the Chapter 2 Remix Battle Pass, and passes have continued to include Kicks as rewards, which makes them the cheapest route if you buy the pass anyway. The second route is the Item Shop, where pairs rotate in and out like any other cosmetic. Launch-era pricing gives you a fair guide to what pairs cost:

Kicks	Price
Chomp Stompers	600 V-Bucks
Nike Cortez Leather OG	800 V-Bucks
Air Jordan 3 Retro Palomino	800 V-Bucks
Nike Air Foamposite One Galaxy	1,000 V-Bucks
Nike Shox R4 Comet Red	1,000 V-Bucks
Air Jordan 11 Black/Gym Red	1,000 V-Bucks

Free pairs do appear occasionally — through competitive events, drops and promotional giveaways — so it is worth checking event rewards before spending.

Do Kicks Work With Every Outfit?

Not quite, and this is the part that trips people up after a purchase. At launch only around 500 outfits could wear Kicks, because every skin's feet had to be individually fitted. Epic has worked through the catalogue since then and compatibility now covers roughly 95 percent of outfits, including most collaboration skins. Before buying a pair for one specific outfit, check the pair's shop page: it flags compatibility, and your Locker will only offer the Kicks slot on outfits that support it.

Moments: Your Own Intro and Victory Music

Moments, added in Chapter 6 Season 2, solve a different problem: the music Fortnite plays at you. A Moment is simply one of your Jam Tracks assigned to one of two slots. Intro Music plays as you leap from the Battle Bus. Celebration Music plays when you take a Victory Royale. The catch worth knowing is that Moments are personal — they play for you, not for the whole server, so they are about your own hype rather than showing off.

How to Set Up Moments

Open the Locker from the main menu.
Scroll to the Music section and select Moments.
Choose the Intro or Celebration slot.
Pick any Jam Track you own and confirm.

Your track library is the real limit here. Jam Tracks come from the Item Shop — most cost 500 V-Bucks — and from the Fortnite Festival Music Pass, and every track you own is available for both Moment slots. The same tracks can also be performed live in a match: load up to eight into your emote wheel from the Locker, then open the wheel in game and switch to the Jam Tracks category. One system, three uses.

Which Should You Spend On?

If you play one or two outfits constantly, a single pair of Kicks you love beats a shelf of tracks you will never set. If you drop in with friends for long sessions, Moments give you a small ritual at the start and end of every match for the price of one track. Either way, both systems are here to stay, so neither purchase is a seasonal gamble.
