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.
