Human Made Sunglasses #1 Went on Sale at 11am JST October 3

Human Made put HM Sunglasses #1 on sale at 11:00am JST on Saturday, October 3, 2026, through the Human Made Online Store and its stores in Japan. NIGO has put his name to sunglasses for nearly fifteen years, from EFFECTOR frames in December 2011 to a JINS&SUN set with Human Made in August 2022, and this pair arrives with a number in its name, which reads as the start of a series. It also landed on the middle Saturday of three in a row, after the Tokyo flagship opened on September 26 and a week before Season 32 on October 10.

NIGO's Eyewear Goes Back to December 16, 2011

NIGO's collaboration with EFFECTOR EYEWEAR went on sale on December 16, 2011 with two acrylic models, Darryl and Monica. Darryl was a rounded retro silhouette inspired by mid 1980s fashion, and Monica was a straight bridged pair. Both had white engraving on the interior and exposed metal hinges.

Human Made has also sold the heart shaped HP3 Sunglasses, listed under product code HM17GD019. The pair is 100% plastic with a red frame and black lenses, 5 cm tall and 13.5 cm wide, and HBX shows it at $170 against a struck through $240, sold out.

JINS&SUN in 2022 Came With a Hariko Stand and a One Pair Limit

JINS&SUN x Human Made went on sale at 11:00am JST on Monday, August 1, 2022, at ¥38,500 per pair with tax. There were four designs: Polar Bear in clear and white, Duck in black clear and green, Tiger in brown demi and yellow, and Bulldog in black and brown. NIGO had been creative director of JINS&SUN since the brand debuted at JINS stores in April 2021.

Each set shipped with a handmade papier mache hariko of the animal that doubles as an eyewear stand, a flap case modeled on an overseas mail parcel and a cloth printed with the heart logo. The frame was based on the rounded Wellington model from the 1990s, with metal studs on the front and the Human Made logo engraved on the inner temple. Buyers were limited to one item per product, orders shipped from August 8, and the only places to buy were the Human Made Online Store and the JINS Online Shop.

Undercover Was Signed on September 11, Fifteen Days Before the Flagship

Human Made's board resolved on September 11, 2026 to acquire all shares of Undercover Co., Ltd., and the agreement was signed the same day. The company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in November 2025, raising about $114 million at a $460 million valuation, so the deal arrives as a public company's disclosure. Closing is scheduled for February 2027, and Undercover is expected to become a consolidated subsidiary from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2028.

The next day, Saturday, September 12, Human Made began producing and distributing FORSE CLUB, a horse racing lifestyle brand run by FORSE CLUB Inc. of Nakameguro, with sales opening at 12:00 PM JST on the FORSE CLUB Online Store. Human Made Tokyo then opened at 6 25 10 Jingumae on Saturday, September 26, with entry that weekend decided by an app lottery that ran from 11:00am on September 17 to 10:59am on September 22. The opening lineup carried a lion symbol for the store and included a store exclusive colorway of the MA 1 jacket, a coach jacket, a heart ring and an animal keyring. Counting from the Undercover signing to the sunglasses, that is four separate Human Made events in 22 days.

Season 32 Is Ten Looks, and the Duck Kick Is Tokyo Only

Human Made Season 32 goes on sale Saturday, October 10 at Human Made stores and online at humanmade.jp, shown as ten numbered looks in three groups with Painter Pants in every group. Looks 01 to 03 pair the Duck Coverall Jacket with a Flannel Check Shirt, a Henley Neck Shirt and a Canvas Tote Bag Large, looks 04 to 07 center a Corduroy Work Jacket and a Graphic T Shirt, and looks 08 to 10 add a 6Panel Twill Cap. The sneakers are the exception: the Duck Kick is exclusive to the Tokyo flagship, so Season 32 splits its buyers between a website and one address in Harajuku.

HM Sunglasses #1 took the wide door. The 2022 set sold one pair per design through two websites at ¥38,500, the Duck Kick sells at one store, and the pair released on October 3 went to the Human Made Online Store and the Human Made stores in Japan at the same 11:00am JST hour.
