Bombas

Bombas is a direct‑to‑consumer apparel company that designs and sells socks, underwear, and T‑shirts primarily through its online store. The brand emphasizes comfort‑focused features such as a proprietary blister tab, seamless toe, and antimicrobial treatment. Its products are marketed to consumers seeking everyday basics with performance enhancements.

Bombas operates under a one‑for‑one social mission, donating an item to homeless shelters for each item purchased. This model has resulted in the donation of millions of socks and apparel pieces since the company’s inception. The company’s headquarters are located in the United States, specifically in New York City.

In September 2013, Bombas experienced a cybersecurity incident in which malware was embedded in a third‑party e‑commerce platform, compromising customer credit‑card information over an extended period. The malicious code was detected and removed in two phases, but it persisted from the website’s launch until full eradication. Because the exact affected transactions could not be identified, approximately 41,000 customers who made purchases during the vulnerability window were notified significantly later. Following the breach, Bombas migrated to a new service provider and platform.

Bombas is a privately held company founded in 2013 by Randy Goldberg and David Heath. It has remained independent of any parent corporation and continues to manage its own brand, product development, and distribution channels.
