Quotes

Splatoon

“ Fans of Zink appreciate the detailed stylings and air of sophistication. From uniforms to sneakers, Zink keeps inklings[sic] looking fresh in sportswear from H2T (that's head to toe, for those of you that don't watch Inkopolis' Next Top Model). ”

Splatoon 2

“ Zink is an H2T sportswear provider (that's "head to toe" for those of you who don't watch Inkopolis's Next Top Model). They carry a full line of shoes, headgear, and clothes for all kinds of sports. Fans of the brand appreciate their simple, sophisticated designs. Their Seahorses line of shoes have become a street-fashion classic. ”


“ I see you standing in the rain.
Within a storm—forever warm.
Powerful as a hurricane. 		”
— Agent 8 on the Zink mem cake

Splatoon 3

“ Attention, inky athletes! The SRL Fashion Desk has relieved our AI intern (phew) to manually report the return of Zink, the industry-leading sportswear brand. Their line of retro revivals and creative collabs will help you sweat in style, if such a thing is possible. Gross. ”

Trivia

  • Zink stickers could be seen on the trucks in Inkopolis Plaza before and during a Splatfest.
  • Zink's Japanese name, "Aironikku", is just the English word "ironic". It is unknown what this has to do with the brand itself, though it could possibly relate to the fact that it sounds similar to the element iron.
  • The Zink brand is heavily featured on the splash screen in Splatoon, with White Seahorses, a purple shoebox, and a banner, all displaying the Zink logo.
  • The Zink brand is possibly based on the Australian clothing brand Quiksilver, as both are named after elements on the periodic table (zinc and mercury respectively, the latter of which is often called quicksilver). Zink clothing also provides "quick" stat boosts (as in Quicksilver) and features a vaguely similar logo, furthering the similarities.
  • In Splatoon, there is no Zink gear that has Comeback, Defense Up, Haunt, Ink Resistance Up, Last-Ditch Effort, Quick Super Jump, Recon, Stealth Jump or Tenacity as a primary ability.
  • In Splatoon 2, there is no Zink gear that has Comeback, Haunt, Object Shredder, Quick Super Jump or Tenacity as a primary ability.
