It simultaneously launches its inaugural pop-up in Asia and to mark the occasion, the two design a graphic tee that is limitedly available. It is inspired by [NIGO's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-made1) memories of the double-deck tram and to capture the same nostalgic element, the shirt is designed with a graphic of the Ding Ding. It is made in a black and white graphic along with HUMAN MADE's signature DRY ALLS text logo along with the iconic heart motif in a green hue to honor the palette of the tram system. In addition to the tee, the pop-up space will be showcasing HUMAN MADE's SEASON 23 capsule.
