FUTUREVVORLD is back with the fourth episode of Progress Over Perfection, an ever-evolving podcast that explores Earth-friendlier projects and greater environmental responsibility in fashion, footwear, design, and culture.

This week, FUTUREVVORLD’s Co-founder Daniel Navetta sits down with Eric Liedtke, co-founder and CEO of UNLESS Collective, for a rare one-on-one with the industry veteran.

Liedtke opens up about his time at adidas, where he helped bring to life high-profile partnerships with the likes of Kanye West and Beyoncé. Since departing the Three Stripes in 2019, Liedtke has set his sights on building a more sustainable future for streetwear, starting with his newly launched Portland, Oregon-based brand UNLESS Collective. UNLESS is a plant-based, zero waste clothing company striving to be a “regenerative force for good.”

“UNLESS is for everyone who feels strongly that what they wear says a lot about who they are and who doesn’t want to compromise their style to do what’s right for the planet. We leave nothing and no one behind.”

Sit back and enjoy Episode 6. You can listen above, as well as on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.
