Description
Krak-On's focus seems to be retro footwear that is usually alternative or quirky in its style, with such shoes as clogs, canvas high-tops, and canvas slip-ons. This retro theme is even continued with a waistcoat and a work cap.
According to SplatoonJP, Krak-On mainly produces natural-style shoes.[1] As of Splatoon 3, Krak-On has expanded its lineup of retro tops, such as shirts and hoodies.[2][3]
Logo
The Krak-On logo in Splatoon consists of a blue stylized squid or kraken silhouette with a bulbous body, four tentacles, and two arms reaching upwards, in an orange-yellow circle with a blue outline.
For Splatoon 2, Krak-On changed their logo to have a red-orange squid/kraken, transparent circle, and to have dark blue and italicized Inkling text of some form diagonally across the logo, overlapping either side of the circle, and with a transparent outline. This logo was retained for Splatoon 3.

Quotes
Splatoon
| “ | Krak-On is one of the older fashion houses in Inkopolis and has quickly become popular with squids who can effortlessly mix grandpa's hand me downs with more cutting edge new pieces. Krak-On's Basics line is a favorite across multiple generations of Inklings. | ” |
Splatoon 3
| “ | The gear brand Krak-On is known for canvas sneakers, but now it appears to be offering shirts and hoodies with a vintage look. And this retro gear is far from outdated when it comes to supplementing one's abilities - we're keeping a close eye on the latest offerings. For science. | ” |
— @SplatoonNA[3]

Splatoon Base
| “ | A veteran footwear company. Their canvas shoes have remained unchanged over the years and are loved by all generations. Vintage Krak-Ons are highly sought after by collectors. Recently, the company has ventured into more exotic designs. | ” |

Trivia
- Krak-On produces the most shoes of any gear brand in Splatoon, selling 13 different items.
- Krak-On is one of the brands that the player is first introduced to in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 due to the Cream Basics being part of the starting gear.
- Krak-On's logo and some of its products bear a resemblance to those the real-life footwear brand Converse.
Etymology
The name Krak-On is likely a pun on the legendary sea monster kraken and "crack on" as words of encouragement. This is further supported by the fact the Krak-On Splat Roller has the Kraken as its special weapon in Splatoon and the Kraken Royale as its special weapon in Splatoon 3.
