Although, I am from here, I never patronized this business…read more I am so glad that I had a chance to stop by and purchase a sweater. I absolutely love the color and saying. The store is spacious and clean. Parking is a pain as it is located downtown. I love the shirt display as soon as you enter. In the back they have a dressing room for your convenience and also gear from other local artists. The young man who helped us provided great service and was knowledgeable about the product. The telephone booth is super cute to take photos. The prices are a little steep, but you really can't find a shop like this that has the bay gear and quality. I can't wait to wear my sweatshirt!

I ordered a sweatsuit from here in March of 2023 for $175 and still have yet to receive a product nor a refund (of which I requested on 5-7 different occasions) from the owner of the company who not only ghosted for months but also recently reached out to hint that the issue would be resolved & yet still has not refunded me. I would steer clear of monetarily supporting this brand moving forward. I absolutely love supporting small businesses but in no way shape or form will I ever condone taking advantage of customers while simultaneously using profits to support your own personal lifestyle.

Super solid brand repping The Bay with Good News since we didn't get much in 2020. Mario is…read moreinnovative and his vision for the industry far supercedes that of more well known local brands. His success will fall strictly on nonconforming to the pressures of trying to be number 1. Success will find its way to Good News Apparel and the city of Oakland is lucky to have a diamond in the rough from a company that will not only prove it's a mainstay in The Town but also a success story that will echo for years to come. I wish nothing but absolutely the best for GNA and well wishes moving forward in their movement. It's Good News or NOTHING! Positive vibes!

Told Rush the owner/designer I was gonna rush over after work and he even offered to stay open late so I could make it! He's got a good range of sizes from XS-5XL.

He's even got this map where he puts up pics of everywhere his customers have been while wearing his designs. Come thru and support local Town bidnizzzz!
