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.

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.
