Appearance
The 18K Aviators are a pair of aviator sunglasses with shiny, gold-colored frames and dark brown lenses that fade from nearly opaque at the top to semi-transparent at the bottom. On the bottom of the left lens is the Inkling text from the [[File:Rockenberg_Brand_{{{2}}}.png|24px|{{{2}}}|link=SquidForce]] [[{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] logo in white. Interestingly, they are the only glasses in Splatoon to have nose pieces.
Abilities
The 18K Aviators come with 
Last-Ditch Effort as a main ability, which, being exclusive to the main slot of headgear, prevents the wearer from also having 
Opening Gambit, 
Tenacity, or 
Comeback. As a 3-star item, the 18K Aviators have three additional slots for secondary Abilities. Since they are made by the [[File:Rockenberg_Brand_{{{2}}}.png|24px|{{{2}}}|link=SquidForce]] [[{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] Brand, they have a higher chance of rolling 
Run Speed Up and a lower chance of rolling 
Swim Speed Up.
