Metallica frontman James Hetfield has partnered with Sutro Eyewear to launch his own limited edition line of shades. The sunglasses are available in two colors, black or tortoise, and the frame is “designed to take whatever a 24-stop Eastern European tour can throw at it.”

"[They’re] built to look faster than a speeding riff and to handle the life of a road dog like me," says Hetfield in a statement.

Hetfield’s signature line of shades will run you $219.99 a pair and are available now at Metallica.com .
