Metallica is taking over The Sphere in Las Vegas this fall, and adidas Originals is getting involved with a full merch collection made for the band’s upcoming residency. It marks the first collaboration between the two, with hoodies, T-shirts and other pieces available in men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes.
The clothing sticks pretty close to what you’d expect from Metallica tour merch, only with adidas worked into the graphics. Pullover hoodies feature a smaller Metallica logo on the chest and larger artwork across the back, including “LIFE BURNS FASTER” lettering. The T-shirts include a white ringer with black Three Stripes sleeves, a red-and-black raglan and a black skull graphic tee.
Metallica logos and artwork are mixed with the adidas Trefoil throughout the collection. Some of the graphics were made specifically for the Las Vegas residency, and select pieces have the tour dates printed directly on them. Long-sleeve shirts and a tank top are also part of the lineup, while certain items will only be sold at The Sphere.
The “Life Burns Faster” residency runs from October 1, 2026, through March 13, 2027, with 24 shows planned. Metallica will use its “No Repeat Weekend” setup, meaning the Thursday and Saturday shows will have different setlists. adiClub members will also have chances to win signed merchandise and tickets to five of the shows through the CONFIRMED app.
The Metallica x adidas Originals “Life Burns Faster” Tour Merch Collection releases September 30, 2026, at adidas Las Vegas and the Life Burns Faster Experience at The Venetian. The wider release takes place October 1 at The Sphere, adidas.com at 10 AM ET, Metallica.com and the adidas CONFIRMED app.
