Fortnite knows no bounds regarding cosmetic items. Players can purchase everything from cosmetic Outfits or “skins,” to musical instruments and cars. This in-game element opened the door for countless collaborations with Marvel, DC Comics, Star Wars, and more. A recent report from reliable leakers indicates Fortnite’s plan to add shoe cosmetics, allowing players to customize their footwear. Here’s what leakers have said about this developing story.
Leakers suggest that Fortnite plans to add shoe cosmetics
These leaks stem from the X accountBRLeaks_ES, which first reported the potential shoe cosmetics coming to Fortnite. Per the report, the person behind datamined text referencing the word “Cobbler.” Although a lost art, cobbling is the act of making or repairing shoes.
Here is the roughly translated text from the post provided above:
“Cobblers cannot be used with all Outfits. Log in and click [] to see which Outfits in your Locker can be used with Cobbler before purchasing, or go to http://fn.gg/X for more information. To try out Cobbler with your Outfit equipped, please visit the Fortnite Item Shop from within the game.”
BRLeaks_ES further reported that “Cobbler” is compatible with various suits, which may or may not refer to Fortnite’s in-game skins. Additionally, theItem Shopcould eventually feature a section called “Shoes,” which indicates players will have the opportunity to purchase shoe cosmetics.
