I’m so proud of Oakland’s Own!! My brother put me own to the brand when they were strictly vending at farmers markets and local events with their headquarters on Fruitvale years ago.
It’s our families favorite local Black-owned apparel brand nowadays and every Christmas believe there’s a new fresh Oakland’s Own hat or hoodie or leathers-man jacket in the mix for every member! I have almost all his old school hats and after today, I’m gonna need the V2’s!!
I just swung by the new spot and WOW. I’m gonna go back and make videos and take pictures of the shop because their gear has DRIP (it’s fresh, raw, clean, lit, fire, bomb, tha-sh**), you get it. Their designs always push the boundaries and include the diversities of Oakland for locals in a really real way.
The owners are easy to talk with, have extremely welcoming energy, and they will accommodate you to the moon and back to be SURE you love what you own. It feels good to invest in a company that clearly LOVES what they do.

I got a unique puffer jacket, a Oakland poppy flower hat (an ode to the piedmont Rose Garden), and a Pac Man Oakland t-shirt. I walked out of the shop with a smile I couldn't get off my face if I tried. Thanks so much to the team at Oakland's Own and may your new location...
