No matter your feelings about Fortnite, the video game phenomenon has seeped into the wider culture in a way few others have. And while we’re not entirely sure why you’d want Fortnite running shoes, Adidas does have a Fortnite-inspired pair in its flagship Ultraboost line that’s currently available at a rare discount during its massive spring sale.
The Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 Fortnite Shoes are just $145 right now, 25% less than their standard $180 asking price, with the code SPRING. Most Ultraboost shoes are excluded from this promo, so this represents your best chance to save money on a pair. The non-Fortnite version of these shoes, which come in a ton of different colors, have a 4.6-star average rating, and reviewers say they’re “lightweight, durable, and great for all-day comfort” and are the “best sneakers ever.” Wearing them is “like walking on feathers,” and numerous reviewers say these are their everyday shoes.

Ultraboost 1.0 shoes are essentially a stretchy, breathable upper made of proprietary Primeknit textile; a midsole with Adidas’s Boost cushioning; and an outsole with Continental rubber for solid traction. Together, they provide a sure-footed and comfortable walking or running experience. The Fortnite x Adidas edition could have been truly gaudy, but they opted for a mix of silver, grey, and black—and no obvious Fortnite branding—that’s actually a lot more reserved than most modern running shoes seem to be.
Shoppers have summed up the Ultraboost 1.0 as a “perfect blend of comfort, style, and performance.” The cushioning “feels amazing,” the look is “sleek yet versatile enough for casual or athletic wear,” and they offer “great support, making them a reliable choice for everyday activities or workouts.”
Another shopper argued that it’s the “next-level” breathability that makes these shoes special. “I wear mostly Adidas shoes, and these get a lot of compliments in particular. They are a really good-looking pair of shoes.” And they’re also versatile. “I’ve worn them for work, the gym, and running—all-around great shoes,” basically wherever one might appreciate a “comfortable, breathable, sturdy shoe.”
Whether or not you know a pump from a buff, Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 Fortnite Shoes are a great choice for anyone who wants a comfortable, versatile, and—for a limited time—nicely discounted pair of athletic shoes. The sale only goes until April 22, so make sure to get yours soon.
