Known for his long-standing relevance within the streetwear realms, HUMAN MADE designer NIGO has teased a Human Made collaboration with the fried chicken chain, KFC.

Captured in his home country of Japan — the short video shows the designer walking through the doors of the restaurant before heading back into the kitchen and donning an apron and gloves. As the video concludes, NIGO presents a tray with a box bearing a throwback iteration of the fast-food chain’s iconic Colonel logo, alongside text alluding to both imprints.

Stay tuned to HYPEBEAST for further news on the drop, though the end of the video hints at a November 16 launch in New York City.
