It's been 40 years since Metallica dropped their thrash metal masterpiece "Ride the Lightning"? To celebrate this epic milestone, Represent has teamed up with Metallica to launch a killer new collection that every heavy metal fan is going to want a piece of.
This 19-piece capsule collection has it all. Whether you're looking to rock a T-shirt or stay cozy in a hoodie, there's something here for everyone. Each piece boasts Metallica's iconic logo, making sure you can show off your 'Tallica pride in style.
But that's not all. The collection features a standout Leather Battle Jacket that's an absolute must-have. This jacket sports the artwork from "...And Justice for All" on the back and has the "Kill 'Em All" cover on the sleeve. Talk about a statement piece!
T-shirts in this collection are something special. They draw inspiration from various iconic Metallica albums. Of course, there's plenty of love for "Ride the Lightning," but you’ll also find shirts paying tribute to "Master of Puppets" and "...And Justice for All." It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and style that any Metallica fan will appreciate.
The story behind this collection is pretty cool, too. It all began over seven years ago when Represent co-founder Mike Heaton stumbled upon a 30-year-old vintage Metallica tee. That old shirt left such a mark on him that it influenced many aspects of the Represent brand. Fast forward to today, and we have this awesome collaboration that's much more than just a licensing deal.
Represent co-founder Mike Heaton himself is pretty pumped about it. "Today, we showcase a true collaboration, not just a licensing deal," he said in a press release. "Represent x Metallica is an authentically co-branded collection; it's a seamless synergy of brand and band." The attention to detail in this collection is impressive. According to Heaton, the fabrics have been redeveloped and meticulously refined to give off the vibe of over 40 years of wear. There’s hand-painted artwork, new washes, and an overall new level of quality that sets this collection apart.
If you're a die-hard Metallica fan or just love some good band merch, you won't want to miss out on this collection. The Represent x Metallica tees are available now at Story. Go check it out and grab your favorites before it is too late!
