About Us

HYPEKILLS WAS CREATED AND ESTABLISHED IN 2015 BY DENNIS VARGAS JR, A DESIGNER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR FROM NEW YORK CITY. HE WAS RAISED BY AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MOTHER AND A ECUADORIAN FATHER. HIS DESIGNS ARE INFLUENCED BY HIS DEEP ROOTS IN MUSIC, ARTS, SNEAKERS, AND THE STREETWEAR CULTURE. DENNIS REFLECTS ON HOW HIS FIRST TRIP TO LOS ANGELES IN 2006 WITH HIS FATHER FOREVER CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF HIS LIFE AND ADMIRATION FOR STREETWEAR. DENNIS’ FATHER EMBRACED THE  STREETWEAR SCENE EARLY ON IN HIS LIFE AND PASSED IT DOWN TO HIS SON WHICH INITIALLY IGNITED AND CONTRIBUTED TO HIS PASSION FOR DESIGN. LOS ANGELES BECAME A WAY FOR HIM AND HIS FATHER TO CONNECT AS THEY TRAVELED COAST TO COAST, VISITING SNEAKER STORES TO FIND HIDDEN GEMS, AND BRING BACK TO NEW YORK CITY. HIS MULTI-CULTURAL UPBRINGING IN NEW YORK, COMPETITIVE DRIVE ON THE BASKETBALL COURT IS WHAT EXCAVATED SOMETHING DEEPER TO NOT ONLY CREATE HYPEKILLS, BUT PUSH OTHERS THROUGH THE BRAND TO REACH THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL. HIS OUTLOOK ON HYPEKILLS IS TO BE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, MASTER YOUR CRAFT, AND NEVER BE DISCOURAGED OF THE COMPETITION.
