Fortnite x Nike?

The recent collaboration between Fortnite and Nike in order to promote their partnership to inculcate Nikes into the virtual and expansive world of Fortnite. This creates an environment where players can interact with the products in a virtual manner.

Due to players being able to create their own islands and do anything on them, it gave Nike a blank canvas to create Airphoria an entire Nike themed island where players get to interact with the Nike placed characters Airie and Maxxed Out Max. This increases the retention towards the experience players had on Airphoria and for them to perhaps participate in real life. The city features five points of interest which when interacted with shows an important moment in the history of the company which engages players within the game.

They also made sure to make these characters as well as other cosmetic items related to the collaboration on the game's store. Fortnite being a free-to-play game primarily relies on microtransactions made through their in-game store in exchange for cosmetic items which made players actually spend actual currency in order to own these items virtually.

Fortnite is no stranger to collaborations with Balenciaga, the NBA, Naomi Osaka and other entities under its belt. this serves as a somewhat reliable grounds to influence players to interact with the brands virtually as well as realistically. The tools of advertisement are used quite aptly with iconic as well as indexical elements.

“Airphoria”

Can the leader of sport footwear become a leader in video games by making games about shoes?

Are footwear stories as relevant in non physical/digital world?

It feels a bit like adding shoe images to apparel.

Given the name of the game, it may have been more interesting to explore and create new and surprising expressions from the "first principle" that appears to be "Air".

Are Nike Launching An NFT Collection In Fortnite?

Nike is potentially releasing an NFT sneaker collection in the popular game, Fortnite. Significantly, Nike has hinted at an upcoming 'ultimate Sneakerhunt' called Airphoria to take place in the game. Of course, this news has the NFT and gaming community excited. The web3 move from the shoe giants into the widely popular online game could see a huge onboarding into NFTs. Although currently, there aren't many details. The very brief teaser video posted by Nike shows their Air Max logo alongside the Fortnite logo against a cloud background. The video ends with the date 20th June 2023 and, importantly, Nike's dot swoosh logo - the web3 arm of the footwear retailer.

Despite the current lack of information from the two popular companies, the web3 and gaming communities were quick to try and work out what this all means. Many community members are wondering if Nike has developed an NFT game that uses Fortnite Creative 2.0. Notably, Fortnite Creative 2.0 allows anyone to build their own virtual island game maps that use Fortnite assets. This comes after Nike's NFT team announced a partnership with EA Sports. Though, it's important to note that we still don't know if this integration will feature NFTs. Find Out More:- https://www.anzali.io/

Nike Launches Airphoria in Fortnite

Nike is launching “Airphoria” in Fortnite, a first-of-its-kind gaming experience. Building on a multiyear partnership with Epic Games, Airphoria brings to life the future of sport experiences at the intersection of games and culture, removing the barriers of physical product and bringing together Nike’s iconic Air Max brand and the immersive world of Fortnite. 

Airphoria combines the signature design elements of Air Max with the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of Fortnite. Powered by Epic Games’ pioneering Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), Airphoria enables players and their friends to explore a meticulously crafted Air Max–themed universe. Celebrating the spirit of innovation and self-expression, Airphoria will allow fans to engage with Air Max sneakers in a new, captivating way as they embark on the ultimate sneaker hunt.

“Airphoria represents a new, immersive experience for Nike as it amplifies its efforts in gaming and virtual products," says Ron Faris, VP/GM of Nike Virtual Studios. “As digital and physical worlds become more seamless across the products and experiences we offer, we’re always seeking authentic ways to deepen our connection with fans, expand access points to Nike across our digital ecosystem and inspire a love of sport and play. What’s more, Nike is one of the first brands to use Epic Games’ Unreal Editor for Fortnite to build Airphoria, paving the way for a continued partnership that will further unlock the future of gaming.”

The excitement for the partnership and the future is echoed by Nate Nanzer, VP of Global Partnerships at Epic Games. “Fortnite continues to be a primary destination for new cultural moments in entertainment, fashion and sport, and we’re proud to launch Airphoria alongside Nike,” says Nanzer. “We know from past activations with Nike that players love the partnership, and Airphoria’s immersion, beauty and storytelling about the Air Max brand take things to a new level. Airphoria demonstrates what’s possible when next-gen tools like UEFN are used by an iconic brand like Nike and creators in the Fortnite community to build immersive worlds together.”

Airphoria is brought to life by the power of five iconic Air Max “Grails” (the Air Max 1 OG, Air Max 97, Air Max TW, Air Max Scorpion and Air Max Pulse) suspended in a majestic and pure air destination above the Airphoria city. These Air Max Grails, representing pivotal moments in Air Max history, allow the city to exist in the “Air State” — a place that represents pure imagination and creativity.

To complement the Airphoria launch, Fortnite players can purchase the Outfits showcased by the two main Airphoria characters, Airie and Maxxed Out Max, in the Fortnite Item Shop now. These two Outfits are part of the Airphoria Pack, which also includes the Pure Sole Boombox and Maxx Stacks Back Blings. A limited Airphoria-inspired collection is simultaneously dropping on nike.com in North America, directly linking the virtual world of Airphoria in Fortnite with Nike Air Max.

The Airphoria island is available now, from June 20 at 12 pm ET to June 27 at 8 pm ET. Access it via Fortnite Discover or island code 2118-5342-7190

Players who are at least 13 years old, live in the United States and link their Epic Games and Nike accounts between June 20 at 12 PM ET and June 27 at 8 PM ET will be able to claim an Achievement on .SWOOSH by August 8, 2023; terms and conditions apply.
