We're honored that the Golden State Warriors chose Oaklandish as their design partner for the Fan Night tees for the last regular season game at Oracle. On April 7, 2019, everyone at the game received a 'Finale at Oracle' tee, courtesy of Adobe. We're a bit heartbroken that this is the last season here in Oakland, but we will still claim the Warriors for Oakland. Below is a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration behind the design, made by Adobe Create. And if you want to own a little piece of history, you can get your very own Finale tee here. Recognizing a Special Place and...

Keak blessed us last night with honesty, humility, wisdom and humor. We had a great turnout the downtown shop for this intimate Q&A with a local legend. Keak spoke about getting shot, having a gun, and trying to stay out of jail. Tyranny of Marketing Kings led the conversation, delving into Keak's influences and the huge body of work Keak has already amassed, and work he has already finished, just waiting to be set out into the world. We are all looking forward to a bright future of triumphs for Keak. And... FREE KEAK! Video recap coming soon! In the meantime,...

We're stoked to present another collection with 54ghosts! This series celebrates East Oakland. Shop the collection. Artist statement by Alex Hernandez aka 54ghosts: this collaboration is inspired and made up of three shirts depicting what I grew up seeing during my childhood in East Oakland. The first photo entitled “Power” is a literal take on the electrical poles that a lot of us grew up with and attempted climbing. “Kick Up Dust” is a metaphorical take on my Oakland childhood, with the image of some young ones shutting down the 580 freeway on their bikes not giving a f@*k. The final...

We're not very good at gift wrapping. But we do love gift boxes! And we love the Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB). Did you know that a whopping 1 in 5 Alameda County residents uses the food pantry? And that ACCFB purchases 80% of the food they provide. Plus, most of the food they distribute is fresh produce? So while the bins all around town to donate food are great and provide variety to food pantry clients, monetary donations keep ACCFB moving. This holiday season, purchase a gift box at Oaklandish stores or online, complete with gold ribbon and tissue...

In Oakland, we don't celebrate Black Friday, we celebrate Plaid Friday! The name Plaid Friday was conceived from the idea of weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the relaxing and enjoyable alternative to the big box store Black Friday, and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays. This Plaid Friday, we will have the requisite sales, but also some other activations to highlight other local, independent businesses. Together, we build a strong local ecosystem, invest in Oakland, create...
