About Bombas

Bombas is a comfort‑focused premium basics brand with a mission to help those in need. The company launched in 2013 after the founders learned that socks are the #1 most requested clothing item at homeless shelters, leading them to donate one pair of socks for every pair sold. Since then, Bombas has continued to innovate, expanding into underwear and t‑shirts, and is committed to making a positive impact on the communities where it operates.
