- Editor note
- Victor's P-series stability flagship (2023). Per Victor official: HYPEREVA + ENERGYMAX 3.0 + TPU + Carbon Power + Solid EVA midsole, VSR rubber outsole, V-Tough abrasion patch, U2.5 last (wide variant U2.5E). Enlarged wave-shaped eagle-claw lateral plate with LS-S support. Mohammad Ahsan endorses (Victor official copy quotes him directly); he wore the red colourway at 2023 All England. Two BadmintonCN community sources both flag that the stock insole wears markedly faster than the rest of the shoe — plan to buy aftermarket replacements. Best for heavier players, players who roll ankles on cuts, and wide-foot buyers. Note: breathability is mediocre in hot/humid venues.
