Matt Varga Your motive will vary on whether it’s one of the best shoes of 2025, but there’s no denying that the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick” is on a shortlist of this year’s biggest hits. Flirting with triple its retail price, nearly unprecedented in this cooler grey market landscape, it’s easily the BMXer’s largest W to date. Doubling down on his increased profile and offering a digital consolation price, the shoe is now hitting the Fortnite Item Shop, releasing in the video game storefront at 8 PM (local time) on May 22nd.
As opposed to the weekly drops at the start of this program, grafting the Nigel Sylvester Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick” into Fortnite comes as a single drop-off. While the program has provided a tasteful way for Nike, Inc. to get more eyes on their product, crucially in younger demographic groups, Fortnite Kicks has started to have tangible effects on the physical market. Most notably, those who purchased the Lil Yachty Air Force 1 in-game were then given Exclusive Access to purchase the tangible shoe via SNKRS several days before the wide launch. Given that this AJ4’s initial launch is now months in the rearview, we don’t expect owning a Fortnite version to allow you a second chance at the coveted style.
Again, the Nigel Sylvester Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick” hits the Fortnite Item Shop on May 22nd at 8 PM. A “retail price” of 1,000 V Bucks is expected.
