HUMAN MADE returns with second Pokémon capsule, expands character-led streetwear
HUMAN MADE’s new Pokémon capsule grew from 9 pieces to 15, with Farfetch’d outerwear, a Pikachu denim jacket, and Magikarp shirting pushing the collaboration deeper into collector territory.
The most convincing piece in HUMAN MADE’s second Pokémon capsule was the utility jacket, where Farfetch’d was turned into a full-on design device with built-in leek-carrying details. That kind of joke-meets-function styling is exactly what makes this follow-up feel sharper than simple character merch.
The new 15-piece release landed on May 23 at 11:00 a.m. JST, giving HUMAN MADE a larger, more varied sequel to its first Pokémon drop from autumn 2025, which ran only nine pieces. This time, the brand expanded the formula across outerwear, shirting, graphic tees, socks and small goods, with prices ranging from about $11 for the entry-level accessories to $495 for the top of the line. It is a broader, more collectible spread, and it makes the collaboration feel like a wardrobe, not a novelty rack.
The chase items are clear. The padded blouson and the utility jacket, both tied to Farfetch’d, carry the strongest streetwear appeal because they translate Pokémon into silhouettes people actually build outfits around. The denim jacket with Pikachu on the back is the most obvious statement piece, the kind of layer that reads instantly from across the room. Then there is the open-collar rayon shirt with Magikarp, which gives the capsule a looser, more summer-ready attitude than the earlier drop’s tighter character focus. HUMAN MADE also kept Pikachu in the mix, while adding Magikarp for the second chapter, a small but smart shift that widens the visual language beyond the franchise’s most familiar face.
The supporting cast reinforces that turn toward collectibles. Three graphic T-shirts, socks, a heart-shaped stuffed passcase, key charm, two key rings, two double-wall glasses in 350ml and 450ml sizes, and a floating pen round out the release. Even the collaboration mark sharpens the idea: a Poké Ball tucked inside HUMAN MADE’s heart motif, which neatly fuses NIGO’s streetwear identity with Pokémon’s iconography.
HUMAN MADE also controlled access tightly, with store entry on May 23 and May 24 decided through an advance lottery in the HUMAN MADE Inc. Official App. That kind of scarcity suits the moment. With Pokémon’s 30th anniversary adding momentum around the franchise, this second capsule reads less like a one-off tie-in and more like a developing streetwear language, one that knows exactly which pieces will disappear first.
