Nigo continues his long-standing collaboration with Adidas under his brand Human Made. The new Human Made x Adidas collection centers around “future is the past”, injecting modern technologies into the classic Forum Low and Country. The sneakers are set to drop alongside an apparel collection that plays on a three-stripe tracksuit but with modern cuts and materials.
Adidas Forum: Asian sizing tips and styling notes
In Singapore, we will be receiving the Asia-Pacific exclusive navy/yellow/white colorways of the t-shirt, jacket, track pants and sneakers.
Here’s a closer look at the Human Made x Adidas Forum Low and Country, which drop in Singapore on April 24.
Model: Human Made x Adidas Forum Low
Approx. price: S$260
A retro top-down view: The upper on this sneaker is directly lifted from the Forum Lows. You can the same layered leather upper and Velcro strap for lockdown.
Difference is in the midsole: The biggest difference is in the midsole, which now comes with a full-length Boost cushioning. The encased forefoot matched with exposed heel mirrors most modern Adidas b-ball kicks – offering the right mix of cushioning and responsiveness.
Branding is minimal with the “Gears for futuristic teenagers” script on the heel and the Human Made heart logo on the lateral side of the heel.

Model: Human Made x Adidas Country
Approx. price: S$260
Sole swapped: For this collection, Nigo have the Adidas Country a sole swap, transferring its suede and leather upper onto to a Solar Boost-like midsole.
Clearly Human Made: Unlike the Forum Low, the Human Made x Adidas Country is a lot more upfront with its branding. Like prior collections, the “Gears for futuristic teenagers” branding appears on the lateral three stripes accompanied by the Human Made logo at the heel.
