16-year-old New York teen runs sneaker pawn shop

DEEPTI HAJELA Associated Press
Chase Reed and his father, Troy Reed, opened Sneaker Pawn on Lenox Avenue in Harlem looking to capitalize on America's multibillion-dollar athletic footwear market and the high prices sneakers can get being resold.
NEW YORK — A 16-year-old sneaker-loving teen is using the footwear to get a different kind of kick — he's opened a pawn shop that uses high-end athletic shoes as collateral.
The idea started close to home, when Chase would ask his father to borrow money after Reed had spent a few hundred dollars on sneakers for his son. Reed would hold onto a pair of his son's shoes until he had gotten his money back.
He told his son, "You don't have no money, but you got all these sneakers. Imagine how many other kids got all these sneakers and probably
"My son said, 'Dad, you're actually kind of making me pawn you my sneakers.' Reed said during a recent interview at the store. "Once he said that, a light bulb went off."
The duo decided to renovate the space in Harlem, where they had been living before moving elsewhere, into a retail location. And to pay for it all, Chase sold his own collection, bringing in about $30,000.
need cash."
Basketball sneakers can sell and re-sell for hundreds of dollars, depending on the shoe model, how limited the production run was, and how easy it is to find a pair in good condition. Sneaker Pawn carries shoes with price tags of more than $1,000.
"My father told me, certain things you have to sacrifice," Chase said.
The shop, which opened about six months ago, offers different options. People looking to just unload their sneakers — specifically basketball shoes — can offer them to the Reeds to be bought outright, or on a consignment agreement which nets the Reeds 20 percent of the final sale price. Those looking to pawn their sneakers have two months to redeem them for the amount of money the Reeds forwarded them plus a storage fee. Shoes that are being pawned are held in storage and not displayed, until the owner either gets them back or gives them up.

said she thinks they are proud of her perseverance.
For now, all Argudo can do is hope her training was worth it as she anticipates the lights coming up and walking across the stage when her name is called to represent Ecuador. If she wins, she said she's not exactly sure what she'll do, but it may involve some crying.
"I would tell my brother and my sister and if my sister was mean to me I would say OK, just wait until I'm Miss Ecuador and you'll regret it," Arguodo said. "I would say stuff like that to them just as a joke and then I think for them seeing that dream come true and seeing that all the hard work that
I put into it actually paid off, I think that's just what they're excited about."
Argudo said. "I may pass out. I don't know. It's such a big, huge honor, out of this world, to win my national pageant and become Miss Ecuador, just let alone. I can't imagine becoming Miss Universe."
"I think I'll laugh and I'll probably cry at the same time."
When all is said and done, though, one thing is for sure: she said she can't wait to have a brownie with ice cream and a Chipotle burrito.
