Metallica is kicking off their 24-night Life Burns Faster residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, and adidas Originals is supporting the band with some killer merch.

The adidas Originals x Metallica merch line includes tees, a tank top, pullover hoodies, and a crewneck sweatshirt — all featuring adidas’ iconic Trefoil leaf, signature Metallica imagery, and new graphics created for the Life Burns Faster residency. Standout pieces include a T-shirt (in men’s, women’s, and kid’s sizes) with three stripes down the sleeves and the Metallica logo across the chest, and a three-quarter sleeve Cali tee with Metallica iconography and a logo on the chest.

Shop while supplies last

Some of the adidas Originals x Metallica styles will only be available to purchase at The Sphere, but many are available to shop online at now at adidas.com. Grab them ahead of your visit to a Life Burns Faster show, or pick them up to wear anytime (even if you can’t make one of the performances). Pricing ranges from $40 to $120.

Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at The Sphere kicks off on Oct. 1 and will run through March 13, 2027. The shows will be grouped into 12 two-night sets and will follow the band’s “No Repeat Weekends” format with different setlists between the two nights, including live staples and surprises.

“About 12 seconds into the opening night of Sphere with U2 back in ’23, I thought, ‘We have to do this; it’s completely uncharted territory!’ said Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich in a statement. “This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting. We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months time, and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level!”

Tickets to Life Burns Faster shows sold out quickly, which means you’ll need to check the resale market if you’re looking to attend. We recommend sites including StubHub, VividSeats, SeatGeek, and Ticketnetwork, which all promise solid prices and guarantee delivery of real tickets before the show.
