Bombas is an apparel brand. The company originally sold socks and began selling T-shirts in 2019. For every item purchased, a clothing item is donated to a homeless shelter or homelessness-related charity.




History


Bombas launched in 2013, after founders Randy Goldberg and David Heath learned that socks are the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters. They established the brand’s mission to donate one pair of socks for every pair purchased.
The company first received funding in 2013, raising nearly $145,000 through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. A year later, the company raised $1 million in seed funding from friends and family. The founders appeared on a September 2014 episode of ABC’s Shark Tank and secured a deal with Daymond John, with John providing $200,000 for 17.5% of the company. In 2018, the company exceeded $100 million in revenue.
In 2016, the company was featured in Max Hechtman's 2016 documentary FIT Hives: Sustainability - The Secret to Survival, which featured an interview with Heath talking about the company's mission and that their emblem was decided to be a bee with a crown would be its emblem as a reference to the Queen bee being at the center of the hive when pollenating with other bees.
By April 2020, Bombas had donated 35 million pairs of socks.
In June 2020, Bombas released a collection of socks for which the company would donate an apparel item to a charity supporting LGBT youth for each item purchased. As of October 2023, they’ve done $1.3 billion in retail sales.
In 2024, it was announced that Bombas would participate as one of the brand partners in the merchandising campaign for the upcoming first film of the two-part film adaptation of the musical Wicked for Universal Pictures.
