A Collaboration Rooted in History and Reinvention

NIGO’s (founder of HUMAN MADE) relationship with Red Wing began in high school, when he purchased his first pair of beige Irish Setters—a moment that sparked a lifelong connection to the brand. For decades, Red Wing boots have naturallycomplemented HUMAN MADE’s Americana-inspired wardrobe, a synergy he acknowledges directly:“I thinkthey’re the perfect shoes to pair with HUMAN MADE’s Americana-inspired clothing. They complete the look.”—NIGO

“I’ve been wearing Red Wing boots for year s, long before this collaboration,” says NIGO. At HUMAN MADE, we believe the future is in the past — that the best ideas come from studying history and giving it new life. Working with Red Wing allowed us to explore that idea in a real way. These boots ar e built for now, but they also carry the spirit of something meant to last forever.”
