Human Made expands global footprint and launches J-Hope collaboration

Human Made, the Japanese streetwear label founded by Nigo, is undergoing significant expansion following its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in November 2025. The company, which became the first streetwear brand to go public, saw its shares rise 13 percent on its first day of trading, reaching a valuation of approximately £342 million.

The brand is aggressively pursuing international growth, having established an American subsidiary and opened flagship stores in Bangkok and Seoul, with a China location planned for next spring. Additionally, Human Made has agreed to acquire the fashion label Undercover, founded by Jun Takahashi.

In its latest product news, Human Made has announced the “HUMAN HOPE SEASON 2” collaboration collection with BTS member J-Hope. The collection features 16 items, including denim work jackets, sweatshirts, and various accessories, utilizing squirrel graphics and collaboration logos. The collection is scheduled for release on September 26 at the Human Made Tokyo flagship store and the official online store.
