Abilities

The Black Flip-Flops come with Object Shredder as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Shoes, prevents the wearer from also having Drop Roller or Stealth Jump. When purchased from SplatNet 2, they come with any other primary ability normally available to Shoes. As a 1-star item, the Black Flip-Flops come with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail for each slot. Since they are made by the Zekko gear brand, they have a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill their secondary ability slot.
