Human Made
Human Made emerged in 2010, founded by designer NIGO while he was still involved with BAPE, to explore his fascination with vintage Americana and classic workwear. He later fully departed from BAPE in 2013 to fully dedicate himself to Human Made. The brand's identity is anchored by its iconic heart logo and motifs inspired by traditional craftsmanship, reflecting NIGO’s dedication to heritage styles reimagined for the contemporary streetwear scene. Major collabs have included Adidas, Pokémon, KAWS, and Lil Uzi Vert. In 2025, Human Made made history when it became the first streetwear brand to launch a major IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
