<p>Following on from a John Wick and Avengers: Endgame collaboration, the free-to-play battle royale <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/fortnite">Fortnite</a></strong> is now teaming up with the sportswear brand Jordan, to promote the NBA finals at the end of this month.</p>
<p>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 <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/gamecube/sonic_adventure_2_battle">Sonic Adventure 2: Battle</a></strong> or the <strong>Jet Set Radio</strong> series.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>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!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
