They might not have as many models in the vault or narratives connecting those classics to today’s market, but Bodega’s Saucony Elite releases have managed to capture a corner of the sneakerhead market even during a time when there are more retro runners available than ever before. How did they manage to carve such a niche without most of the cutting edge gimmicks and hype? Sheer quality. All of the Saucony Elite releases have featured lush suede in rich yet rustic colors, and this new Saucony Elite Master Control is no exception. Split between glass blue and brick red with just a hint of rusty orange on the heel, these Master Control lowtops nail the vintage look with a cream colored midsole and gum bottoms, and suggest that this top-tier collaborative capsule has enough momentum to keep going strong into the next year.
