Fortnite’s new Nike characters consist of… Hmm

Fourteen daysEpic’s free online battle royale is one of the biggest games in the world and features some of pop culture’s most iconic characters including Spider-Man, Batman, Obi-Wan Kenobi, gokuAnd Darth Vader. But now it’s time to say hello to the two greatest fictional characters Fourteen days: a sentient heap of Nike products in the vague forms of a human and a woman, seemingly made entirely of semen.

After last week’s leak Nike officially announced this on Tuesday that it built (or more accurately commissioned someone to build) a massive Nike-style world within Epic’s popular battle royale game. And as part of this collaboration between Nike and Fourteen days, the game adds new items and character skins. And um… they’re a bit weird, which is saying a lot considering some of the previous characters that have appeared in Fourteen daysincluding Ninja (the streamer) and a nude version of Peely the banana. But these new Nike collaboration characters are even weirder.

For example, One of them is a man covered with (or entirely of) covered cloth. Shoes, tennis balls, water bottles and other sporting goods. Pretty weird stuff! I assume this guy squeaks a lot as he walks around.

The other new character is a woman made of…air? Or maybe rubber like you find in a Nike shoe? Well, that’s exactly what Nike was to intend with this all-white in-game skin. But instead, the internet has embraced the idea that this woman is actually a sentient being made of sperm. I’m just reporting this folks, don’t yell at me.

Also, and I shouldn’t have to say this, be very careful where you are when you start looking for “semen”. Fourteen days” on twitter…

If you look around on Twitter and the like, you’ll quickly see that many players are reacting to this character in ways that I don’t think Nike expected or wanted. Many tweets indicate that this is the first sperm person Fourteen days (probably true) or asking if the cum lady is real and dangerous. In fact, most of the online convo surrounding the Nike cum lady consists of people logging onto Twitter, seeing tweets about it, scoffing at the idea, looking up a picture of the new character and realizing it’s worse than they expected.

I wonder if the people at Nike who wanted to be more creative with this crossover – not just throw in some Nike shirts and shoes and call it quits – are starting to regret their decision.
