Unfortunately, opening a new business that is crowded with competition from many trendy designers was no easy task for two average men who knew nothing about shoes and would pay only for what they liked. This ‘out of the box’ idea of creating a ‘home-designed’, comfortable for everyone shoe company shows that the two possess conceptual skill which help them to see the big picture of the future company. Gerson, who worked as accounted, began his research on the possible start points of their business, showing his diagnostic and technical skills. Once again the two friends displayed their diagnostic and leadership roles at a barber shop, when Nelson met a brand designer who was famous for his billion-dollar shoe collections, but never had a chance to start his own company.

The Angel Street Thrift Shop—located in Chelsea—is more than just the result of a philanthropic gesture and draws a steady group of regulars who have come to rely on this spot for its many diamonds in the rough.

The shelves here are organized and clean, the glass countertops sparkle, and everything—from apparel to armoires to champagne flutes—is displayed with impeccable care and attention.
