Shella Fresh has guitar equipment strewn around and shoe boxes everywhere. Some of the shoes are on shelves, which appear to be skateboards suspended by some chains.
Description
Shella Fresh sells shoes that can be purchased with cash, which come with their default primary ability, default number of ability slot(s) (Splatoon 2) or star power (Splatoon 3), no experience, and empty secondary ability slot(s).
There are six (Splatoon 2) or nine (Splatoon 3) unique shoe items at a time, which are randomly chosen among eligible items and cycle at midnight UTC. In Splatoon 3, Shella Fresh shares its daily stock with Crush Station and Shrimp Kicks: purchasing an item in one of the shoe shops removes it from other shoe shops.
The availability of shop gear by initial star power is based on the player's level. In Splatoon 3, gear items exclusive to the catalog need to be obtained from it before they start appearing in Shella Fresh.
In Splatoon 3, gear items in shops are grouped to (1) returning gear from previous games and (2) gear introduced in Splatoon 3.[2]
Whether owned items can be repurchased from Shella Fresh differs between games:
In Splatoon 2, repeat purchases can only be done if the owned duplicate has a non-default primary ability i.e., originated from SplatNet Gear Shop. Otherwise, they are labeled as "Owned" and cannot be purchased.
Repeat purchases cost the same as buying it for the first time from Shella Fresh.
Repeat purchases will fully replace the owned item, resetting all its abilities to their default state (default primary ability, no secondary abilities).
Items that can be repurchased have a gray background (as with "Owned" and unaffordable items) and a lime loop icon on the top-left corner.
There is no limit on how many times a specific item can be purchased.
In Splatoon 3, each gear item can only be bought once per day, but owned items can be repurchased, which gives the following options:
Replacing the owned item with its brand new duplicate (with default primary ability, default star power, and empty secondary ability slots), with the same price as buying it for the first time from Shella Fresh.
Upgrading the owned item's star power to the next one, which costs cash depending on its star power.
Players can tilt to rotate their character and click to try on the highlighted item, and pressing purchases this item. Pressing displays further information about the selected item. Pressing zooms in on the character's feet, allowing for a closer look at the shoes. Pressing allows players to enter Ammo Knights and pressing similarly allows them to enter Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe, while pressing takes players back to Inkopolis Square.
