NIGO’s label HUMAN MADE is returning to the Pokémon universe with a second “Pokémon Made” collection, dropping on May 23, 2026, after the huge success of the first collab in fall 2025. The new capsule marks Pokémon’s 30th anniversary with a bigger, 15 piece lineup of apparel and accessories featuring Pikachu, Farfetch’d and new addition Magikarp.
Second “Pokémon Made” collection
The new HUMAN MADE × Pokémon release follows the initial nine piece Pokémon Made drop, which sold out quickly and helped define the partnership’s blend of Japanese streetwear and nostalgic gaming culture. This time, the collaboration expands into a more complete wardrobe and lifestyle offer, described as “Collection Vol. 2” in brand and media communications.
According to HUMAN MADE’s official announcement, the second Pokémon Made collection launches under the same concept but with more silhouettes, more characters and a wider range of entry prices, opening the collab to an even broader fan base.
Key pieces and designs
Editorial breakdowns confirm that the new drop features 15 product models across 19 variations, with outerwear as the main highlight. Standout items include:
- POKEMON MADE DENIM JACKET – a vintage style indigo denim jacket with a chain stitched Pikachu graphic on the back and custom HUMAN MADE heart buttons.
- POKEMON MADE PADDED BLOUSON – an olive drab, padded outerwear piece combining utilitarian details with Pokémon artwork.
- POKEMON MADE UTILITY JACKET – a high density cotton nylon jacket starring Farfetch’d, complete with a plush leek, packable hood, multiple pockets and a special sheath pocket designed specifically to carry the leek.
- POKEMON MADE ALOHA SHIRT – a navy shirt with Magikarp graphics, tying the character into a resort inspired silhouette.
The lineup is rounded out by graphic T shirts, socks and accessories like key charms, key rings, double wall glasses (including a Magikarp glass), floating pens and a heart shaped Poké Ball style coin pouch. Many designs merge HUMAN MADE’s signature heart motif with Pokémon icons, such as heart shaped Poké Balls or Magikarp whose whiskers form a heart.

The second HUMAN MADE × Pokémon collection officially drops on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM JST.

NIGO, Pokémon and 30th anniversary nostalgia
This second Pokémon Made drop arrives as part of the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations, tapping into long term fan nostalgia while filtering it through NIGO’s streetwear lens. Returning characters Pikachu and Farfetch’d are joined by Magikarp, adding new visual humor and storytelling to the collection.
With its expanded range and global distribution, the collaboration underscores how deeply Pokémon now intersects with fashion and lifestyle, and how HUMAN MADE continues to use pop culture icons to reinforce its playful, archive minded brand universe
