Hidden Hype

Hidden Hype was founded in 2011 by Rami Tannous in San Jose, California for those with a passion for fashion. Ramis vision was to create a brand that represented positivity, culture and roots for those who still love the chase. Quality, integrity and staying true to the brand is whats most important and Hidden Hype stands by these traits. The great vibes of street wear from different cities was something that inspired the creation of Hidden Hype. The passion and pride everyone takes in this industry has made Rami even more driven.
