Following on from a John Wick and Avengers: Endgame collaboration, the free-to-play battle royale Fortnite is now teaming up with the sportswear brand Jordan, to promote the NBA finals at the end of this month.
This latest update adds a new free event called "Downtown Drop" requiring players to bomb hills, launch off massive jumps, grind city streets and collect as many coins as possible to win. In all honesty, it looks like a scene out of Sega's Sonic Adventure 2: Battle or the Jet Set Radio series.
Show off your moves in the New York City inspired, Downtown Drop LTM by Jordan featuring Creative artists NotNellaf & Tollmolia. Launch off massive jumps, grind down city streets and collect coins to win!
As you might have already noticed, this promo also adds a variety of kicks (aka. shoes) to the popular online multiplayer title. So, get ready to see a lot of people wearing Nike's Air Jordan line in-game.
There's also a Hang Time Bundle up for grabs, requiring a certain amount of vBucks. If you do jump on this offer, you'll receive a Grind Outfit, Clutch Outfit and a challenge pack exclusive to the set. The free challenges also give you the chance to unlock "Back Board Back Bling" skateboard styles and four unique sprays.
Will you be participating in this event? Tell us down below.

Epic Games must really be rolling around in money at this point. That Fortnite scene in Endgame was about as cringe as possible...
Now they are teaming up with more pop culture stuff for cross advertising.
gunna be fun but to bad its limited time.
Fortnite X Mountain Dew, Fortnite X Taco Bell, Fornite X XXX Vitamin Water, Fortnite X Lord of the Rings, Fortnite X PUBG.
One of these will happen
I love this game and I love how meme-y it's getting with crossovers. I hope for more!
Seems like they are getting kinda desparate to me, with all the licenses and new LTMs. Battle royale games as a whole seem to kinda be decreasing in popularity.
I'm more interested in Overwatch's event compared to this one (Dem Mei and Winston skins). Would've been swell to clear them all one night, however just like most of the other events, they always unlock one by one every 24 hours so the item shop can refresh.
This game just seems like it’s becoming an advertisement with a game on the side.
@Heavyarms55 to be honest I think that Fortnite scene was supposed to be somewhat cringe worthy.
@AxeltheBuizel That's a reasonable idea.
Fortnite is now cheap and lame.
lots of money to be made when you are understaffed and coercing your employees to a lot of overtime.

they've put too much junk into Fortnite.
they should have all of the variety they have - but just less of each thing.
Have those air vents that swoop you around the world turn off and on. Have less travel items available. Like 2 hover boards in the whole world. One ATV. One bubble thing. And you gotta either get rid of the sky ships or just have less of them - and have it move around or something.
The game was a lot better when you landed - and you were just on your own - travel wise. Now it is too cluttered with garbage.
I think they both compliment each other very well: They both run their companies like sweat shops(One literally having a sweat shop) and jack up the prices of their limited edition products.
Who doesn’t love product placement in their games??
/sarcasm
Can you use the skateboard? If it’s just back bling than hard pass. It would be stupid to have a skateboard visually on your person but have to walk
I hate how people use “honestly” or in this article’s case,”in all honesty” now.
Why would I think you were lying when you said collecting coins reminds you of Sonic? There would be no reason to lie.
The Downtown Drop LTM does not even work 100% correctly. (Well for the Switch, not sure about the other platforms.)
