Epic Games and Nike are teaming up on Fortnite gear and a slick-looking Nike-themed Fortnite island made with Epic’s new Unreal Editor for Fortnite tools. If you play the “Airphoria” island for 10 minutes or more, you’ll even snag a Nike shoe you can use as a back bling.
As part of the partnership, you can link your Epic account to .SWOOSH, Nike’s Web3 platform, to get a “.SWOOSH Achievement.” If you see “Web3” and think “NFT,” I understand. But Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says that Fortnite isn’t getting NFTs and an Epic support article says that these Achievements “cannot be traded, sold, or exchanged and have no monetary value.”
