Crush Station
- Not to be confused with the Octo Expansion levels called stations.
Crush Station is a shoe shop in Splatsville that appears in Splatoon 3. It is run by Mr. Coco.
Appearance
Crush Station is decorated by hanging paper lanterns and vines, a purple and green neon sign, and a large green armchair. There are also shoes in the back that are being displayed on shelves.
Description
Crush Station sells shoes that can be purchased with cash, which come with their default primary ability, default star power, no experience, and empty secondary ability slot(s).
There are nine unique shoe items at a time, which are randomly chosen among eligible items and cycle at midnight UTC. Crush Station shares its daily stock with Shrimp Kicks and Shella Fresh: purchasing an item in one of the shoe shops removes it from all other such shops.
The availability of shop gear by initial star power is based on the player's level. Gear items exclusive to the catalog need to be obtained from it before they start appearing in Crush Station.

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.
- Upgrading the owned item's star power to the next one, which costs cash depending on its star power.
