NBA star LeBron James X Fortnite skin
Recently a leak surfaced on the internet by a source, @HYPEX. This new leak shows a brand new LeBron skin with green and black motifs. The model of the skin is very much akin to the old LeBron James skin model. That is why there have been speculations that this could be an “edit style” than a full-fledged skin.
But the leak has exclusively stated this new revelation as a “Skin”. On November 28, 2022, the official Twitter account of HYPEX posted a tweet, featuring two leaked images of what looks like a new LeBron James skin. In the caption of the tweet, they wrote, “Upcoming LeBron Skin!”

How did fans react to this new leak?
The fans were overjoyed to have a new skin for the basketball legend. But there were also some fans who were a little skeptical of the leak and also there were some fans who thoughts, Fortnite should make this a new edit style than a new skin.
