Its upper has been applied to a couple of the brand’s other classic cushioning platforms over the past few months, but today we see a new set of in-house Saucony Master Control colorways. Now in its third decade of service, the Master Control takes on a trio of new colorways experimenting with a single material and color distribution template. It’s fascinating how both similar and unique this set is, so you’ll want to have a closer look at all three of them after the jump. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a straight-up Master Control release, so let us know how the original compares to variations like the Master Shadow or the G9 edition, then grab yours at select retailers like Flatspot.

It’s been a while since we’ve profiled a new Saucony women’s release here on Sneaker News, so let’s get back into it with four new styles for spring 2013.

As it turns out the Hanon x Saucony project is one that smashes two separate Saucony retro models together into one brand new silhouette (A precedent set by Bodega’s earlier hybrid movements). The Saucony Master Control upper is planted on top of the Saucony Shadow 5000 sole kit. As far as materials go they’ve selected a mixture of pig suede, full grain leather, satin, and 3M. Continue reading for the first full look at this fiery pair (one whose colorway kind of looks like an extension of that last Hanon collab) that will be releasing at Hanon on Saturday, March 2nd.

Hanon’s been a stockist of Saucony goods for while now, a bit of loyalty that they’re about to be rewarded for in the form of a collaboration. The model appears to be the Saucony Elite Master Control, which is being promised as a March 2013 release in this teaser. The sneaker looks to be sporting a fiery red set of guts to match what appears to be a rather muted black based upper. Chime in via the comments below if you like what you see and stay tuned to Sneaker News for the full scoop on the Hanon x Saucony Elite Master Control soon.

It’s been a long time since we checked in on the inline catalog for the likes of Saucony, the collaborative pairs holding it down for the revived runner brand pretty well. This 2013 crop balances things out a litte bit, with their team flexing their blocking prowess on a trio of silhouettes. Included are the Saucony Grid 9000, Saucony Master Control, and the Saucony Jazz. The Grid 9000 pairs end up as the most diverse, thankfully taking hold of all the little pieces available on the still techy looking silo. We’ve got the full photos set after the jump, so check that out and look for this Saucony release from Overkill early next year.

Bodega helped to resurrect Saucony’s status in the sneakerhead community with their elegant Elite collaborative line, and now the Boston-based boutique furthers its Frankenstein experiments by applying one of the collection’s best soles to three different designs. Based on the Grid 9000‘s exceptionally bouncy and comfortable sole setup, the Bodega x Saucony G9 collection brings together the Shadow 5000, 6000 and Master Control in unique colorways reminiscent of earlier teamups. There’s a little bit of purple on each one and all three should arrive at retailers like Hanon on August 25th, so click through for more images and let us know how Bodega x Saucony Elite round 6 compares to the earlier styles.

Brands like Saucony and New Balance tend to capture a small sample of the entire sneaker-loving community as their classic runners are admittedly not nearly as popular as those from other brands. Is it a popularity issue, or just a matter of mere exposure? Shoes like the Saucony Master Control and the Grid 9000 aren’t shoes you can find in any random sneaker store, but its recent re-releases with the help of Bodega aren’t exactly meant for the masses; retro runners are the epitome of the ‘niche shoe’, experiencing a ton of praise in the Euro footwear scene, but the U.S. has definitely been coming around over the last few years. Round 5 of the Saucony x Bodega connection includes the Grid 9000, Master Control, and more well-known Jazz ’91, and Premier will have the first two available tomorrow in limited quantities, but you can expect a select number of shoe spots to have these in limited runs as well.
