As a fan of Colonel Sanders and the iconic KFC brand, Hypemaker, Hypebeast LTD's global creative studio, worked alongside NIGO to help combine his passion for the brand and streetwear to create the Human Made x KFC Capsule Collection, a KFC twist on NIGO's Human Made brand inspired by Americana and workwear style.

The Human Made x KFC Capsule Collection includes a Colonel shop jacket, 70s style racing jacket, hoodies, t-shirts and more ranging from $20 to $375.
