Alright, strap-in because Fortnite just threw down with the weirdest, crazy cosmetics ever. “Pupper & Chicken Kicks” have arrived to the shop, and the reactions have been all over the front.
The famous Fortnite leaker and insider HYPEX released the pictures of the shoes, and people are going crazy. It is literally barking dog faces and clucking chicken shoes for 600 V-Bucks ($6). Use the code “HYPEX” at checkout if you want to support him.
What the hell are these, really? Like, one P.I. straight-up asked, “@HYPEX @gork what are those?” Good question. Gork responded with, “some weird ass slippers probably,” which… is a plausible explanation.
And then the reactions in the replies were in all shades of hype confused and outright… disbelief, honestly. Others, like Yoshi, are full-on support, saying the kicks “look so dumb yet so frigkin adorable.” Others, like imavirginbigl, could not have been more uninterested, calling them “dumb af” and questioning why anyone would wear them. Hey, to each their own.
Then the player has been waiting for this said, “FINALLY! MY CHICKEN CHONKERS FINALLY GOT IN THE SHOP, I CAN FINALLY BUY IT!” Some good passion there.
Then others weren’t convinced at all. “dont care, too expensive,” said Tgraybird, well…fair enough. “For those who do care, these kicks are ‘peak performance,'” said Soulbound TV, jokingly adding that these shoes “bark AND cluck.”
And chicken may just be the way for the win. Cody Parker summed it up perfectly: “Chicken goes hard.” No explanation needed.
Nope, it’s far from over! More users have already started theorizing about combos. One user: myfanic posted a pic of the Ghoul Trooper skin with the chicken kicks captioned “chicken + ghoul trooper=” and honestly? It kind of works.
Some, meanwhile, want to cash in on this occasion and deliver demands for other cosmetics: Unknown shouted, “We need personalized radio station with owned tracks,” while Devin Cook lamented, “We’re never gonna get Street Fighter.” Priorities, folks.
Oh, and, like glue, the servers decided to act up right when these dropped. Luvtw1x kept complaining, “servers are down you can’t play nor ready up😭” because that’s exactly what they do.
Are you going to be rocking Pupper & Chicken Kicks? Some think they are a great fit, and some think they are completely silly, but one thing is for sure, these cosmetics sure do make Fortnite continue to stay wild. Actually, we really wouldn’t want it any other way.
