Cyan Dakroniks

“	I see you walking down the street. You think you're slick in those lime kicks, But they'd look fresher on my feet.	”
— Agent 8 on the Mint Dakroniks mem cake

The Cyan Dakroniks, known in Splatoon 2 as the Mint Dakroniks, are a pair of shoes in the Splatoon series.

In Splatoon 2, they are a 1-star item produced by Zink and come with the primary ability Drop Roller. They can be purchased from Shella Fresh for 1,200 or from SplatNet 2 Gear Shop for 3,000.

In Splatoon 3, they are a 0-star item produced by Zink and come with the primary ability Drop Roller. They can be purchased from Crush Station for 1,200 or from SplatNet 3 Shop for 3,000.

Appearance

The Cyan Dakroniks are thick teal sneakers. The laces and black soles are oversized. Around the back of the heel is a black arrow and on the tongue is a black rectangle with gray lettering.

Splatoon 2

The Mint Dakroniks debuted in Splatoon 2 at release.

Abilities

The Mint Dakroniks come with Drop Roller 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 Object Shredder 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 Mint Dakroniks 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 Zink gear brand, they have a higher chance of rolling Quick Super Jump and a lower chance of rolling Quick Respawn to fill their secondary ability slot.

Splatoon 3

The Cyan Dakroniks return in Splatoon 3's Fresh Season 2024 in version 7.0.0. Prior to their release, they were shown on the Splat Dualies Tableturf Battle card.
