The highly anticipated project celebrating Pokémon's 30th anniversary in 2026 is once again set to ignite the streetwear scene! Led by NIGO, Japanese streetwear giant HUMAN MADE officially launches its second major collaboration with Pokémon. If the first release was a test run, then this time's "Pokémon Made Vol. 2" is definitely going full throttle. From American workwear and military-style jackets to whimsical, playful accessories, NIGO once again demonstrates how to elevate premium streetwear aesthetics with mass popular culture to new heights.
In this collaboration lineup, besides the star Pikachu, the most surprising additions are the prominent featuring of "Farfetch'd" and "Magikarp." NIGO perfectly blends HUMAN MADE's signature vintage American style with the characteristics of these two classic characters, shedding the often childish feel of typical anime collaboration apparel and instead infusing it with a highly textured streetwear sensibility.
Among the 15 items released, several are absolute must-haves for trendsetters, considered "grail" level items:
-
Farfetch'd Utility Jacket: Undoubtedly the season's talk of the town! This military-style jacket features a cleverly designed, humorous detail on the back—a special pocket specifically for storing a "leek" plush, which comes included with the jacket. This unique HUMAN MADE sense of humor perfectly resonates with fans.
Farfetch'd Flight Jacket: Continuing the classic MA-1 military silhouette, adorned with exquisite Farfetch'd embroidery, it strikes the perfect balance between tough military style and adorable elements.
Magikarp Embroidered Open-Collar Shirt: The ultimate weapon for summer streetwear. The vintage open-collar cut paired with delicate Magikarp embroidery exudes a rich Japanese retro vibe.
Pikachu Raw Denim Jacket: Made from sturdy raw denim, featuring a large-scale Pikachu graphic on the back combined with the prominent HUMAN MADE brand logo, it's sleek and versatile.
Beyond the heavy-hitting apparel, this project also highlights the brand's emphasis on lifestyle. A series of everyday accessories allows the charm of Pokémon to seamlessly integrate into daily life.
-
Classic T-shirts and Accessories: Includes multi-colored T-shirts combining the Poké Ball with the brand's heart logo, as well as collaboration embroidered long socks essential for streetwear outfits.
- Character-shaped Small Items: Featuring Pikachu, Farfetch'd, and Magikarp themed keychains and coin purses, perfect for adding a touch of flair to bags or waistbands.
-
Home Goods: A ritualistic 350ml transparent glass mug and a nostalgic floating ballpoint pen, each item brimming with intricate details.
