I think it’s a business strategy, to start out really high in price to test the waters. And if nobody is buying them, they can just set the price down to make themselves look more generous. And it would make ppl think “oh wow! These shoes costed 1.000 V-bucks before, now they are only 500 V-bucks!!”
@@jackbigbuss true, but it looks like they don't worry too much about that. For them it's a new permanent skin cosmetic. In a buissness mindset, they probably felt going expensive first, and then lower the price to see what fits. Was a much better route, than starting out super cheap, and then up the price later on (which would make them look greedy) As it is rn, the price will most likely go down, just like the cars did. And that would make them look generous, bc ppl will feel like they got a discount
I’m baffled as to why anyone was excited or wants to buy these lmao. THEY ARE SHOES, they go on your feet and you would barely even notice them. Same thing as music packs
4:00 I think they're not in STW, because they would have to make kicks available for all the heroes, and given they dropped STW, they don't wanna do it.
Fun Fact if you buy all the kicks, the total price comes to the same amount of real shoes $60 also it's expensive because it's branding compared to the shark shoes
Just an expansion of their entire metaverse idea so this isn't a surprise. Gonna clog up the shop even more so as people didnt already care for jam tracks and cars.
Im not surprised since people buy the real shoes that cost more than an apartment in New York, and as soon as those shoes get a small particle of dirt, your soul go straight to Valhalla, unless you wrap it on plastic so it can suffocate like a fish out of water Also no one was asking nor hyped for the waffle stomper 12s, in fact, everyone clowned on these things from the get go Reminder - some skins are cheaper, hell, Christmas is coming soon, so you'll get 2 holiday skins FOR FREE - some bundles are cheaper, where it comes with a set, and pocket change of V-Bucks - STW is cheaper than the shoes
The 5% not able to use them are likely going to be collabs that haven’t returned to the game in over a year or so, battle pass collabs that are not Disney or part of collabs that return regularly. Also Bender Bending Rodriguez with his feet and also since fry and leela can wear kicks it’s likely his feet.
I get licensed ones costing 600 but originals should be less l. Like the licensed ones can be 600 as I get they need to make money and probably is not cheap. Also I guess might be why the store ones are so many.
Branded Kicks costing as much as Pets.. People complained about seeing Empress for 1000 V-Bucks in the shop when they were new, but now, it seems like Pets would have way more effort put into them and are a bit more deserving of that price, rather then a single pair of shoes (Not counting the having to edit all the skins to be able to support Kicks)
also biggest thing to mention is if you are looking upwards or forwards you cant even see the shoes so thats 1 negative point and for the price i can imagine they will give it the car price treatement and reduce them to like 200 or 300 or somewhere below or in between couse i was hyped to get chomp stompers that is if they where 200 i said even if it is 250 i aint getting them
Just tried the battle pass ones for the lulz, and they're mostly out of frame unless you're running or sprinting. Definitely worth the 1000 vbucks... 🙄 Besides, who actually spends time looking at their skins shoes??
Theyre nicely design shoes to use on my character but not the expense of 6-9$ bucks to use on my character that ill barely see on screen when im fighting lmao
dude i liked the green nikes (since my fav color is green) but 1k vbucks is too expensive bruh 💀 (also i completely agree with the price u mentioned as being reasonable, since for 300-500 vbucks u could wear them on many skins)
I wasn't ever too excited because I never got the point. Sure, shoes would be cool, but... They're shoes. Do you have any idea how rarely I look at someone's feet in a game? When am I ever gonna see someone's sick kicks? I'd be nice to have more in depth customization, I wouldn't complain about that, but they're gonna have to do a lot more than let you put on shoes to really do much in the way of that goal (if it even if a goal).
i went to check them out in game... crazy thing is you BARELY see them whatsoever. only during running (hardly) and sprinting. other than that they're OFF SCREEN definitely not paying 100 vbucks for something sitting off the screen 95% of the time lmao
ngl the only good ones imo are the galaxy ones, the shark slippers and the battle pass ones the others just dont look that good to me but if i have vbucks left over that i literally cant spend then ill buy the galaxy ones but the shark ones are so cool
I mean, I could understand the collab shoes being a lil pricier at like those 600 or 500.. Maybe even 800. But fornite Originals should be like 300 max I will be buying the green shoes, because I like em, otherwise I dont really care.
Outside of kicks being the worst and cringiest thing being added to the game $9 to $10 a pair is stupid i can get whole games for that same price weather they're on sale prices for games, the returned classic PS1, PS2, and PSP games on playstation, a backwards compatible xbox games, good indie games, or just classic games on PC through steam and GOG kicks in fortnite in general is the cruelest joke I've ever seen(no disrespect if you do like them though but the prices are definitely the worst part)
Your forgetting licensing is not cheap 😂😂 i think we all forgot about that. 😂😂 1000= 8.99$ cheap ! At least ur not paying 2800$ = 22$ or more.. you have the option to buy em or not ur choice 😂😂😂 but goddamn so ungrateful like little spoiled brats.
![Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q86_nlRoIGw/mqdefault.jpg)
they are not overpriced lmao
1k vbucks for shoes isnt overpriced? There are skins that cost less than that
1k vbucks for something that’s not available on most skins and u can’t see them unless u jump or slide😂
💀
You know it’s overpriced when it costs more than the battlepass and a friggin skin 😭
Ppl complain too much😂😅
I aint paying for that shit
Yo fr 😭
Who is gonna pay for that
@Hamed-v3i only cornballs are gonna wear em.
@@CaptainBrungle grow up
@@gamerbeast3616 this reply literally makes no sense lmfao
Everyone's literally just gonna get the jordans from the battle pass and never buy anything else
Real
Same
Doubt it, from seeing comments on other creators I can say that people are stupid
I’m gonna get the chomp stompers just cuz they’re funny and the cheapest
simps will buy it. simps with money,a nd kids begging parents. idiots basically

And it would make ppl think “oh wow! These shoes costed 1.000 V-bucks before, now they are only 500 V-bucks!!”
So, pretty much what they did with the cars back at the start of CH5.
@somerandomguyonyoutube2278 exactly
still not a good idea, since you lost that initial hype, and people won't be nearly excited for it anymore

Sht like this ought to be 200-300vb tops
Why do I need to spend 10$ on fortnite shoes when I have shoes irl
Those are like $16 here in Australia which is stupid
You know it’s bad when SHOES cost more than the whole Battle Pass 💀
fort has really fallen. ch6, i believe now, will not save this metaverse money grab sht.
I think they should be at least 300 vbucks and even that’s expensive
100-300vb. epic doesnt know the price 100. few items are 200, even 1 tier skip is 150vvb. its super greedy bs
Yea
If they were like 200/300 v bucks (max 500) i think that would be fair. They literally cover like 10% of your outfit 😂
Nah like 5% also yea I agree with your opinion
@@CL8ERZ yeah plus you cant see them unless you crouch, jump, or like to stare at the bottom of your screen while playing
An uncommon skin like aura is less than it☠️
I’m baffled as to why anyone was excited or wants to buy these lmao. THEY ARE SHOES, they go on your feet and you would barely even notice them. Same thing as music packs
i always knew this was a blatant cashgrab, people actually thought this shit would be reasonably priced 🤦♂️
@@jsp5533 music packs are more worth it than shoes tbh
They're not only shoes, they're just literally advertising
greed
They don’t even look good with any skins really, and 10 dollars for just a joke that goes dry really quickly is absolute lunacy homie☠️
These prices make me afraid when they finally add Gucci Crocs
I like the kicks them selves but not the price. Personally I think kicks should be 500 or 600 vbucks instead of 1K 💀
bro i tried in game if u don’t jump you can’t even see them correctly 😭 they gonna expend the fov or smh
4:12 True imo, I think it’s fair to say that fall guys easily became the most forgettable aspect of Fortnite’s “metaverse”
The price of a whole skin to cover 5% of your skin in a cosmetic.
Seems completely reasonable to me!
Should of been 200-300 per shoe max
They should add hats instead of shoes
Still wouldn’t work as skins have hats already. And helmets..
even the battle pass is cheaper💀💀💀💀💀💀 if some random ass kid says they aint expensive again im crashing out💀💀💀
Let's not forget that this is Nike they make everything overpriced
"95% compatability"
My locker: "15% of skins are compatable"
4:00 I think they're not in STW, because they would have to make kicks available for all the heroes, and given they dropped STW, they don't wanna do it.
Bro if it involves STW, fortnite isn't gonna do anything about it 😭
Bro for 1000 vbucks I better be getting the shoes in game and shipped to my house irl
i want the chomp stompers ans then not buy anything else
THEY'RE ALL SO EXPENSIVE
FOR SOMETHING YOUR BARELY EVER GONNA SEE
Well luckily im only buying the shark stompers and if they make some crocs or slides I'll grab those to 😂 but yea pretty expensive
Just like irl. Foot clothing is overpriced af
don't buy bs brand shoes like nike or adidas, its bs. good shoes are like 50$ anywhere
if they were 50 v-bucks Epic would make more $$$
imagine skins be 400vb. I think for every 1 person buying a 800vb skin, you'd have 10 people buying 400VB skins.
dawg they're just testing the prices just like when musical instruments were first introduced
any reasonable person would not think this is a good price lmao
Fun Fact if you buy all the kicks, the total price comes to the same amount of real shoes $60 also it's expensive because it's branding compared to the shark shoes

Reminder
- some skins are cheaper, hell, Christmas is coming soon, so you'll get 2 holiday skins FOR FREE
- some bundles are cheaper, where it comes with a set, and pocket change of V-Bucks
- STW is cheaper than the shoes
I know just a little about videogames dev, and it took 6 years to add crouch to STW
Can't wait to buy fortnite nike caps and gucci belts for 1000 vbucks😂

Travis already has the red jordans on without kicks

YAY!! SHOES FOR THE SAME PRICE AS A SKIN AMAZING DEAL!

I think Epic made overpriced to reduce later the price and sell them still overpriced as they did with the cars
I played a game with the ones from the BP and completely forgot I was wearing them until I got back in the lobby
adding hats would be a better idea since you can actually see them 😭
@@jackbigbussnah high key u right they should

Theyre nicely design shoes to use on my character but not the expense of 6-9$ bucks to use on my character that ill barely see on screen when im fighting lmao
Thought theyd be maximum 500
Honestly might buy the shark slippers and hope and pray that they reduce the price so i can get some of my money back
I knew it it would be expensive I'm not even surprised anymore...
I used to think backblings or pickaxes were overpriced but shoes for 1000 fucking vbucks WTF
If it wasnt for the brand tag I'd rekon they would be cheaper.
I'm getting those chomp chomps then never getting any of these over priced thing again
dude i liked the green nikes (since my fav color is green) but 1k vbucks is too expensive bruh 💀 (also i completely agree with the price u mentioned as being reasonable, since for 300-500 vbucks u could wear them on many skins)
now epic will force us to buy pants, shirts etc
I can tell they are going to shove shoes into the battle pass in chapter 6 just to get people to use them and hopefully buy it
You only need one pair of shoes (the BP), one set of skins for the instruments (the BP) then you don't need to bother lol
I think the Shoes should be 250 to 300 what went wrong with Fortnite why is everything overpriced now :(
I wasn't ever too excited because I never got the point. Sure, shoes would be cool, but... They're shoes. Do you have any idea how rarely I look at someone's feet in a game? When am I ever gonna see someone's sick kicks?
I'd be nice to have more in depth customization, I wouldn't complain about that, but they're gonna have to do a lot more than let you put on shoes to really do much in the way of that goal (if it even if a goal).
1000 vbucks☑️
500 vbucks at most✅️
200
i went to check them out in game...
crazy thing is you BARELY see them whatsoever. only during running (hardly) and sprinting. other than that they're OFF SCREEN
definitely not paying 100 vbucks for something sitting off the screen 95% of the time lmao
It doesn't even work with the wastelander magneto skin
Bro Epic needs to think customers too and not money
i was ready for like 100-300 vbucks like WHAT IS 1000 FOR THE 5% OF THE SKIN IT COVERS BRUH
And on some skins they are so small I have to look down to actually see them 😂
Like what the fuck is this?
Foam-pah-sight is crazyy
I won't buy Nike in the real world, I'm definitely not buying them in fortnite
There better be a damn setting to not show shoes on other players 😂
ngl the only good ones imo are the galaxy ones, the shark slippers and the battle pass ones the others just dont look that good to me but if i have vbucks left over that i literally cant spend then ill buy the galaxy ones but the shark ones are so cool
The only time im gonna wear them is when I have Goku equipped bro 💀
i was so excited i was hoping i could buy jordans for like 300 or something now im sad
I was thinking of getting the shark slippers, but I am not paying 600 Vbox
honestly i’m not gonna buy the shark slippers but hey they aint as bad as TEN THOUSAND FOR SHOES?
(epic games greed at it’s finest)
They cost more than a battlepass.
Epic games will delete kicks and refund everyone
It’s probably because of Nike
300 to 500 vbucks is a reasonable price bro ❤
cant wait to wear nikes on Adidas skins
I think that the Nikes are expensive because they were expensive to license
Oh, look, its like the cars
this game is getting harder and harder to defend, the og remix chapter two is borderline worse than chapter 5
No shit there overpriced
I mean, I could understand the collab shoes being a lil pricier at like those 600 or 500.. Maybe even 800. But fornite Originals should be like 300 max
I will be buying the green shoes, because I like em, otherwise I dont really care.
200 or 300 should be the price for them
the juice wrld poi is crazy
For some reason I want converse in the game
I like shoes, but I'm not gonna buy them because of the price.
I'll wait for the Sonic the hedgehog shoes next month
now maybe i would buy that
Im literally not even gonna use them out of pure spite. This is a fucking disgrace. I hate what this game has become
How will you move without them?
FACTS!
I am gone use them if they in the battle pass😭
Outside of kicks being the worst and cringiest thing being added to the game $9 to $10 a pair is stupid i can get whole games for that same price weather they're on sale prices for games, the returned classic PS1, PS2, and PSP games on playstation, a backwards compatible xbox games, good indie games, or just classic games on PC through steam and GOG kicks in fortnite in general is the cruelest joke I've ever seen(no disrespect if you do like them though but the prices are definitely the worst part)
i aint taking them even if they gave me all of them for free
Is the mic getting worse every video???
your shoes are off screen 95 percent of the time they would be terrible even they were fairly priced
This video was so sigma
I like the mic pls keep it
1/4 an outfit
500v bucks at most
Your forgetting licensing is not cheap 😂😂 i think we all forgot about that. 😂😂 1000= 8.99$ cheap ! At least ur not paying 2800$ = 22$ or more.. you have the option to buy em or not ur choice 😂😂😂 but goddamn so ungrateful like little spoiled brats.
300 max
NOBODY BUY THESE WE NEED TO SHOW THEM THAT WE DONT WANT THIS TRASH
I really dont cate about the pricing.
bro is rich chat
