The Fortnite x Polo Ralph Lauren P-Wing Boot Releases August 3

The worlds of fashion and gaming continue to intertwine, and the latest collaboration between Ralph Lauren and Fortnite takes this convergence to exciting new heights. With a common thread of innovation, both brands are joining forces to launch a one-of-a-kind experience that seamlessly merges the physical and digital realms.

Set to debut on August 3, the "Race to Greatness" is a specially crafted branded world within Fortnite. The digital landscape takes the shape of a Polo Pony, encapsulating the adventurous spirit of Polo. This unique island features three distinct topographies: Ralph's Airplane Hanger, the Rocky Mountains, and Grand Forests, all inspired by the designer's home, previous collections, and runways shows. One zone even features The Summit Building, a nod to the brand's P-Wing logo.

Notably, the collaboration doesn't stop in the virtual space. Along with this immersive world, Ralph Lauren also introduces a physical boot called the Polo x Fortnite P-Wing 'Phygital.' Inspired by the digital Stadium Drifter Glider from Fortnite's Stadium Hero 92 outfit, this limited-edition boot boasts details reminiscent of the 1990s Polo Sport line and the esteemed Stadium collection.

The P-Wing 'Phygital' flaunts a bold black and red design, peppered with iconic Polo branding, including the P-Wings logo. Even the midsole features molded "fins," an homage to the jetpack glider from the original Polo Stadium Collection in Fortnite. Each detail adds to the boot's allure, making it a coveted piece for fashion enthusiasts and gamers alike.

Ralph Lauren will host a global livestream event exclusively on Twitch to celebrate this novel collaboration. Scheduled for Thursday at 4:30 p.m., the event promises an engaging experience with interactions with top gamers, feature interviews, games, and challenges with streamers and e-sports stars.

As for the release of the boot, pairs will touch down on Ralph Lauren's official webstore at 06:00 EDT and will retail for $250; The release is limited to just 300 units.
