Epic Games has teased a collaboration between Fortnite and what clearly looks like Nike’s logo for its Air Jordan brand.

“Game recognize game. Drop in tomorrow,” an in-game message says. The teaser shows the Jumpman logo for Air Jordan. The Fortnite twitter account also published a cryptic message hinting at partnership with Jordan.

This collaboration could mean that Michael Jordan, Nike, Air Jordan, or all of them together are coming to Fortnite either for a special event, to be represented as cosmetic items. Or, it could be that Epic is collaborating with Air Jordan to release Fortnite-themed products.

This will come one day after Epic’s latest collaboration ended, which was for the new John Wick movie. The company added a special limited-time mode, Wick’s Bounty, to celebrate the movie’s debut, as well as a cosmetic set featuring John Wick as a Fortnite character

Whatever comes from this collaboration between Fortnite and Air Jordan will be revealed tomorrow, when players can also expect the v9.10 update to drop.

Update May 21 9:33pm CT: Air Jordan has released two teaser images on its Twitter and Instagram accounts that show a Fortnite character with the Jumpman logo on his back.
