Pabuc! websitesi:
Pabuc! sitesini baslatmamizin en buyuk nedeni Internet’te bir tek bile Turkce Sneaker, sokak sanatina veya giyime yonelik Blogun olmamasidir. Bari biz yapalim dedik ve Mayis 2008′de Turkiye’nin Ilk Sneaker Blogunu gerceklestirdik! Ilk baslarda elimizde olan ‘aoblab.wordpress.com’ adresinden dunyaya seslendik ama bu adresin Pabuc!’la hic alakasi olmadigini fark ettik ve 15 Temmuz’da sitemizi ‘pabuc.wordpress.com’a tasidik! Son zamanlar Sneaker’lerden baska, Turkiye’de acilan enteresan dukkanlarla, Turk/Enternasyonal genc tasaramcilarla ve hayatimiza renk katan etkinliklerle ilgili de yazi yazmaya basladik!

Pabuc!’un sahipleri:

Sitemiz Istanbul’da yasayan degisik kokenli bir kac Sneaker hastasi tarafindan yurutuluyor. Pabuc! herkeze aciktir ve fikirlerini bizimle paylasmak isteyenlerinin katkilarini bekliyoruz!

The Word:

Pabuc:

1. shoe.
2. rubber or metal tip (on the base of a furniture leg).
3. slang sneaker.

The Site:
The main reason for starting Pabuc! was the fact that there was no Turkish blog focused on sneakers, street-art and clothing. So why not do it ourselves? And that’s how it all started in May 2008. First at ‘aoblab.wordpress.com’, but after a month we figured out that that domain had nothing to do with Pabuc! so we moved it to ‘pabuc.wordpress.com’ on the 15th of July! We’ve recently started doing some articles on stores in Turkey, interviewing fresh new Turkish/International designers, and covering events that add something to our lives!

The Owners:
The site is run by a couple of sneaker fanatics with different backgrounds who all live in Istanbul. Always looking to expand our network of likeminded people we’re open to ideas and welcome contributions by our readers!
