Kemper Snowboards has partnered with Epic Games to create a co-branded collection of Fortnite x Kemper Fantom Snowboards.
The partnership was brokered by Fortnite’s exclusive consumer products licensing agency, IMG. A subsidiary of Endeavor, IMG is a global company that works in the fields of sports, fashion, events, media, licensing, and more.
Originally established in 1987, Kemper Snowboards is an American snowboard manufacturing brand that is best known for creating high-quality snowboard equipment and outerwear that feature neon colors and eye-catching graphics.
The new Kemper collection will include the brand’s Fantom snowboard model in several sizes adorned with graphics of licensed characters from the Fortnite game.
“We are super excited to have partnered with the amazing team at Fortnite to offer some fun and distinctive snowboard graphics that provide a synergy between both of our brands,” said Kemper CEO, Jib Hunt.
Released in 2017 by the game developer Epic Games’, Fortnite is an online multiplayer platform that features three different gameplay modes. The three modes include Battle Royale, Save the World, and Fortnite Creative. Fortnite is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Android, PC, and cloud-based game streaming services.
The licensed Fortnite snowboards are currently available for pre-order on the official Kemper Snowboards website. The co-branded collection is expected to hit the retail market in October 2023.
