Trivia
- Based on their SplatNet 2 price, it can be deduced that the normal price of the Cream Basics would be
300 if they were purchasable from Shella Fresh rather than being a part of the starting gear.
- This is consistent with their price in Splatoon 3, the first game in which they can be bought from shops.
- As of Version 2.0.0 of Splatoon 2, the Cream Basics and the rest of the starting gear are the only pieces of gear that cannot have their original abilities restored if purchased through SplatNet 2, unless if ordered from another player through Murch.
