Our Vision.
To encourage people around the globe to walk their path, trust their journey, and step into their greatness. While they’re making marks on the world that can’t be erased, we’ll take care of the ones that can be.
Bodine Clean is a family-owned business, lovingly founded by Jeff, Kyle, and Taylor Martin, in memory of their larger-than-life personality of a Father, Jeffrey “Bodine” Martin Sr.
“Bodine” [boh•deen] was an entrepreneur, a passionate traveler, and a beloved father and husband who firmly believed that dreams can and do come true through hard work and dedication. He instilled in his sons the value of fearlessness in pursuing their aspirations, the importance of staying true to themselves with unwavering integrity, and the significance of supporting others on their journey to create their own legacies.
The profound impact he had on our lives is something we cannot keep to ourselves, and so, we proudly share his enduring legacy with the world.
As sneaker enthusiasts, we crafted our solution and brand with meticulous detail with a clear goal of establishing ownership in a culture where the true tastemakers often go unnoticed.
So, while you're making marks on the world that can’t be erased, let us take care of the ones that can be. Don’t just settle for clean, get Bodine Clean!
Rooted in community. Built to last.
From Lafayette, Louisiana to Houston's Fifth Ward and beyond — here's where Bodine Clean has shown up, given back, and left its mark.
The Coramino Fund — Grant Recipient
Bodine Clean was selected as one of 50 Black and Latinx-owned small businesses nationwide to receive a $10,000 grant through The Coramino Fund — a partnership between LISC and Kevin Hart's Gran Coramino® Tequila. The fund was created to provide capital to entrepreneurs who have historically faced racial barriers to growth. Just five months after our soft launch, being selected from applicants across the country validated that our vision resonated far beyond our own community.
Canvas Rebel Feature
"When you choose Bodine Clean, you're not just choosing cleaner shoes — you're embracing a philosophy that speaks volumes about who you are and the impact you wish to make."
Canvas Rebel sat down with co-founder and CEO Kyle Martin to explore the story behind Bodine Clean — from honoring the legacy of Jeffrey "Bodine" Martin Sr., to navigating manufacturing, securing the brand's first grant, and building a business rooted in values rather than profit margins.
