We had the good fortune of connecting with Curtis Rose and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Curtis, what’s your definition for success?
To me there are levels to success. Being able to take care of yourself physically, financially and emotionally. The ability to take care of others and being able to do the things you love and enjoy freely.

Please tell us more about your business. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today business-wise. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Plenty Sneakers is for the sneaker lover at any level. Whether you’re a casual collector, reputable reseller or footwear fanatic we are the brand for you. We strive to always be a trustworthy, reliable and authentic household brand that provides top-notch quality and customer service. With products such as an all natural sneaker cleaner, a short story and a variety of sneaker themed clothing. I have managed to take passion of mine and create a brand that allows me to showcase my love and creativity for sneakers.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We are spoiled when it comes to spots for food, fun and adventure. However a go to for food is always Howlin Rays when I have friends in town. It’s a staple and they are the originators of Nashville hot chicken here in LA. When it comes to shopping Melrose & Fairfax are cool but Downtown LA is filled with exciting people and dope stores such as Dover Street Market, Juice Los Angeles and Of The Cloth LA.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my family, my fiancé and my friends. Thank you for all the love and support!
