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.
