Nike Accidentally Reveals Upcoming Fortnite Vinicius Junior Skin Through Ads
While data miners usually dig up hints and leaks regarding upcoming Fortnite skins directly from the game files, the Fortnite Vinicius Junior collab was revealed through a Nike partnership. Many fans spotted a tease for the Vinicius Junior skin through a newly distributed promotional ad from Nike. Given that the player has an ongoing partnership with the brand and Nike is a frequent collaborator with Fortnite, it essentially confirms the crossover.
As of now, Epic has yet to officially confirm the collaboration. However, players can expect Vinicius Jr. to join the Fortnite Item Shop soon after Chapter 7 Season 3 goes live. The skin will likely feature Vini Jr.’s signature hairstyle and classic Brazilian jersey look, along with other cosmetics like a back bling and pickaxe.
This will likely be the first of many football collabs coming to Fortnite, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in less than a week. While Epic has kept a tight lid on the exact release date, Vinicius Jr could come to the Fortnite Item Shop around June 11, 2026, as that is when the World Cup will hold its first game.
