Badminton Shoes VICTOR P9200TD Reviews
The appearance of badminton shoes has always been a frequently mentioned topic among enthusiasts, and in this process, it seems that the actual performance of badminton shoes must be excluded. Could it be that the appearance and performance of badminton shoes are inherently incompatible?
Of course not. If we only talk about performance, any category of VICTOR shoes is worth buying without hesitation. Then, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to pick a VICTOR shoe with good looks? So, here comes our protagonist today—the P9200, which has undergone dozens of color changes since its launch, with consistently high market sales and proven performance in actual combat. It remains a timeless classic to this day.
Nowadays, simply changing the paint job can no longer satisfy the consumer desires of badminton enthusiasts, so the Kungfu series, with its unique design, naturally has a place among the 9200 models!
Detailed Evaluation of Parameters
Durable and Protective
The V-Duable+ anti-abrasion patch, which received overwhelming praise from consumers in previous 9200 models, not only enhances the stability of the upper but also improves the wear resistance of the toe. Many players have reported the miracle of “wearing the shoes for two years and the upper is still intact.”
Innovative Shoelace Design
The P9200 Kungfu also features significant changes in the shoelaces, adopting rough, anti-slip laces that reduce the risk of loosening during intense matches. Combined with the breathable tongue, the color scheme becomes a focal point of the overall splash ink design, which is quite ingenious.
Lightweight Design
The overall weight of the P9200 Kungfu is 346g, basically the same as the original 9200, barely meeting the lightweight standard of below 350g.
Universal Fit
The shoe last of the P9200 Kungfu is designed with a width of 2.5 and a volume of 3E, making it a versatile option with excellent compatibility. As someone with a Roman foot type, I found the shoe to be more comfortable than the P9500, with a similar fit to the S82, neither too tight nor too loose. The popularity of this shoe is undoubtedly due to its shoe last that satisfies the wearing needs of most players.
Actual Gameplay Experience
Lightweight and Responsive Forefoot
The forefoot continues to use the ENERGYMAX 3.0 cushioning technology, providing a lightweight and responsive feel that is comparable to the speed-focused S82.
Quick-Rebounding Heel
The P9200 Kungfu incorporates the upgraded ENERGYMAX V technology, which offers a quicker rebound compared to the softer cushioning of the previous ENERGYMAX 3.0+NEO DUPLEX dual-density midsole. For players who require more cushioning due to their weight, the 9200CC and A930, which feature E-TPU technology, are recommended.
Stunning Appearance
The appearance of the P9200 Kungfu is truly impeccable. My previous favorite colorway pales in comparison, making this the best-looking 9200 model so far!
Flagship-Level Insole
Lastly, the return of the flagship-level insole with midfoot reinforcement is a true New Year’s gift. While the insole material remains the same, this is a rare treat in an era where shoe insoles are often downgraded. You can always trust VICTOR’s insoles!

Badminton Shoes VICTOR P9200Ⅱ Reviews
Conclusion First:
In my opinion, the P9200 II is a shoe that combines both aesthetics and quality, upgrading on the basis of a classic design. It perfectly blends stability, comfort, fit, and versatility, making it the pinnacle of VICTOR’s stable badminton shoes.
Appearance Feelings:
According to the official specifications, the second generation offers three different color schemes: white, black, and orange-red, corresponding to pure and low-key, cool and steady, and lively and passionate, respectively. They suit different styles of players and can be worn for daily walks with ease. I chose the white color, which pairs beautifully with the light blue midsole outer layer, making it never feel monotonous and growing on me more and more.
Once on my feet, the most immediate feeling is “elegant.” Whether on the court or out on the street, you’ll be the coolest guy around!
The shoe upper continues the combination of PU synthetic leather and double-layer breathable mesh, but the mesh area on the side is slightly larger than that of the first generation, enhancing breathability to some extent and bringing better detail texture to the appearance. The detail of the lace storage design caught my eye, reducing the risk of long laces dragging. A small design, truly safe. The wear-resistant coating on the inside of the shoe toe of the first generation was already quite mature, and the second generation has made further improvements, eliminating concerns about wear and tear affecting the shoe’s overall appearance.
In terms of sole patterns, the second generation shares a high degree of similarity with the first, both adopting multi-directional cutting grooves designed to better enhance the shoe’s flexibility based on the repeated stopping and starting movements in badminton. At the same time, the all-around sole pattern provides slip resistance, wear resistance, and lightness. The insole is relatively thick, with the front part featuring VICTOR’s classic 3.0 water ripple anti-slip structure, which incorporates sweat-wicking ventilation holes and an ergonomic design.
Actual Game Experience:
After nearly two weeks of actual play, the second generation’s performance can be described as a relatively excellent all-around battle boot.
The overall feeling on the feet is relatively light. The 2.5E V-shaped last may feel slightly tight for most players when first worn, but it will gradually fit with movement. I found it very comfortable, with no stiffness like when wearing new shoes. A few simple runs and the shoe bends comfortably around the foot. Due to the addition of suede microfiber to the shoe’s lining, which is flexible, it fits snugly around the instep without being overly compressive. When running, the overall fit and comfort are high, providing a sense of security during starts and landings. The arch and instep feel very comfortable. I thought the upper part of the first generation’s forefoot was the softest I’d worn from VICTOR, but the second generation feels even softer and more comfortable.
In terms of torsion resistance and support, stability and security are evident during numerous starts, landings, and lateral movements. This is due to the large LS-S SHELL, with the light blue side portion being higher than that of the first generation, resulting in stronger lateral support. The high-strength TPU fused with the midsole outer layer extends laterally for support, enhancing landing stability and distributing impacts from all directions evenly, significantly reducing the possibility of ankle sprains.
The classic wave-shaped insole creates an intangible friction that provides more direct feedback during running, jumping, and stopping. Like most distinctive things, some players will love it, and I personally enjoy the clarity it brings.
In terms of shock absorption and cushioning, the heel incorporates an upgraded E-TPU energy pad, which is made of polyurethane granules and foamed to effectively cushion the downward pressure on the heel. It provides both ample cushioning and excellent continuity. Personally, I feel that the second generation is thicker and more responsive than the first, akin to stepping on a trampoline’s crisp and elastic feel.
Overall Experience:
Stability, stability, and stability again! During the past two weeks, with each three-hour session, I felt no discomfort. When wearing the first generation, perhaps due to its excellent fit and thick lining, my feet would feel a bit sore and stuffy after more than two hours. However, with the second generation, whether jumping, running, or repeatedly turning, I didn’t experience such feelings. The thin and soft lining, combined with the ventilation holes, made my feet feel unburdened, once again illustrating the difference in upgrades.
Summary:
The VICTOR P9200 II is a shoe that excels in cushioning, support, breathability, fit, and responsive starts, while also boasting high aesthetics. It perfectly blends stability, comfort, fit, and versatility, making it the pinnacle of VICTOR’s stable badminton shoes. On the court, you’ll be the coolest guy around!
However, as the saying goes, “You can’t have the best of both worlds.” Choosing stability means sacrificing some speed. High-end shoes are all exceptional, but it’s up to you to decide which aspect you prioritize. As with superlative players, they rarely have flaws; it’s just about whom you’re comparing them to.

Badminton Shoes Victor P9200III 55 Reviews
I truly admire Victor’s sense of innovation and determination. Even though the built-in midsole hasn’t been fully embraced yet, Victor still resolutely incorporated it into the P9200, their most successful shoe series. As the latest iteration of the P9200 series and the flagship model in Victor’s 55th-anniversary collection, what charm does the P9200III-55 possess
Victor’s 55th Birthday Gift
At the Victor brand conference, I saw various colorways of the P9200III, but among them, the first-released colorway of the P9200III-55, as the main attraction of Victor’s 55th-anniversary collection, stands out as a unique presence within the P9200III line.
I believe many of us were first drawn to the P9200III-55 by its color scheme. As a blue enthusiast, I couldn’t resist the allure of this colorway. Officially called “Medieval Blue,” it evokes a rich historical imagery that complements the shoe’s theme of honoring classics. Accentuated with gold details, it exudes a low-key yet elegant vibe. The P9200III-55’s colorway is captivating on its own, and it blends seamlessly within the broader Victor 55th-anniversary collection, where various shades of blue are featured. Each piece in the collection is so tempting that I want to own them all.
I wonder if the design of the P9200III-55 was specifically crafted for the 55th anniversary. If so, selecting this shoe as the flagship model for the occasion was indeed a meticulous effort. The P9200 can be considered Victor’s most successful shoe model, while the built-in midsole represents their latest shoe technology. When the classic design meets cutting-edge technology, what sparks will they ignite?
A Continuation of the P9200 Legacy
The reputation and status of the P9200 place immense pressure on its successors. Indeed, the P9200 is a formidable benchmark, but it also serves as a wellspring of inspiration.
Many details of the P9200II’s appearance still bear traces of the original model, such as the shoe collar lines, midsole contours, and outsole patterns. While maintaining the overall silhouette, it has carved out its own style, with less of the first generation’s sharpness and aggressiveness and more elegance and roundness.
In contrast, the third generation introduces even more radical changes. The upper resembles the first generation more closely, while the incorporation of the built-in midsole represents a complete overhaul. Some criticize the designers for merely combining two existing models, but I appreciate this design approach. Revitalizing classics with new technology can sometimes yield delightful results.
The benchmarks set by the P9200 in terms of support, wrap, and comfort have been carried over to the P9200III-55.
The Built-In Midsole: Capable or Not?
The most significant difference between the P9200III-55 and its predecessors lies in the use of a built-in midsole. Opinions on Victor’s built-in midsole shoes vary widely, even diametrically opposed. I believe Victor has received corresponding feedback, and while the built-in midsole is indeed a good idea, it requires further refinement and improvement.
Victor’s built-in midsole consistently emphasizes transverse arch support. Frankly, I’ve never fully understood the role of the transverse arch in sports, but I can attest that the P9200III-55 feels distinct from other badminton shoes as soon as you put it on. Initially, I felt a bit uneasy, as if something was pushing against the bottom of my arch. However, after getting used to it, the discomfort dissipated. When wearing the P9200III-55, the burden on the forefoot feels lighter, even after prolonged gameplay, leaving my feet less sore.
The P9200III-55’s built-in midsole is crafted from HYPEREVA material, which has been proven through practical application in shoes like the A970ACE and P8500II. Its comprehensive and balanced performance has garnered recognition among badminton enthusiasts. While the P9200III-55 may not offer as much cushioning as its predecessors, it excels in quick starts, thanks to HYPEREVA’s lightweight and elastic properties.
Despite the absence of a carbon plate, the P9200III-55 demonstrates commendable torsional rigidity. Upon removing the built-in midsole, you’ll notice a harder section on the lateral side of the forefoot, providing stability during lateral movements. The front and rear sections of the built-in midsole also differ in hardness, with the mid-to-rear section feeling stiffer. This design aligns with the characteristics of badminton, balancing quick reactions in the forefoot with stable support in the rearfoot. This design feature is also inherited from the P9200.
The P9200III-55 comes with an additional insole, which I prefer to place over the built-in midsole. This setup prevents slipping even when my feet sweat, enhancing the overall wrap feeling. The shoe’s upper, crafted from super-fine PU and functional mesh, offers excellent wrap, although the heel sometimes feels a bit loose.
During gameplay, with a lot of running and moving, the P9200III-55 feels more grounded, providing clear feedback from the soles. I wonder if this is attributed to the built-in midsole.
A Few Suggestions
As badminton enthusiasts’ aesthetic standards for shoes continue to rise, the fact that the P9200III-55 encourages people to set aside their prejudices against built-in midsoles and give it a try is testament to its charm. While the P9200III-55’s aesthetics are already impressive, I hope Victor can experiment with a wider variety of outsole designs for shoes with built-in midsoles. After all, doesn’t the built-in midsole offer greater freedom in shoe design?

Badminton Shoes VICTOR S82 Reviews
Preface
Lightweight badminton shoes typically feature relatively thin outsoles, breathable, and lightweight upper materials. These characteristics give them the properties of “quick startup without drag, lightweight and breathable without suffocating the feet,” making them ideal for players who are not too heavy, prone to sweating, or require fast start-up speeds. However, there are always trade-offs. Many shoes that pursue lightweight design often compromise on shock absorption, durability, and safety.
As a 177cm tall and 75kg heavy “big guy,” I find it challenging to choose shoes. If I gained another 10kg, it would be simple – just go for the P8510 with better cushioning and safety. If I lost 10kg, I could confidently wear any ultra-lightweight shoes. Initially, when the review team asked me to test the new VICTOR S82, I hesitated due to my weight.
Conclusion
To save you the trouble of reading a long article, let me start with the conclusion: “VICTOR’s new S82 impresses me in three main aspects. Firstly, its shock absorption is exceptional. It feels like a lightweight upper attached to a comprehensive shoe like the A922, offering similar shock absorption and foot feel. Secondly, the shoe last is impeccable. I thought P8510 had the most reasonable last from VICTOR, but S82 tops it. The toe and sides fit perfectly without pinching or excess space. Lastly, stability is well-designed. Although the upper is not as sturdy as P8510, S82 utilizes reasonable designs in foot plane inclination and localized force guidance to reduce the risk of rollover without relying solely on rigid wrapping. However, S82 is not perfect. As a high-end shoe, its insole feels somewhat low-end. For a more comfortable feel, you might need to invest in a better insole.”
Experience
The two most immediate sensations upon wearing S82 are: 1) Coolness, 2) Comfort. VICTOR previously released the P9210, a stable shoe designed for the spring-summer transition. Its knitted upper provided good breathability, but its thick, backpack-strap-like weave barely kept feet from sweating. In contrast, S82’s thinner upper is genuinely breathable, rivaling some running shoes in terms of ventilation. Unfortunately, it’s a bit late for such a feature as the weather is cooling down. But for players with sweaty feet, S82 is the best choice to keep socks dry.
Comfort is usually associated with comprehensive shoes. Most lightweight shoes prioritize lightness and quick startup, resulting in thin midsoles in the forefoot. For my build, after two hours of play, I can feel my forefoot being worn down, even numb. S82’s forefoot is thicker than its predecessors, absorbing impact without significantly affecting quick startup. Perhaps the harder cushioning material contributes to this.
A perfect fit and instant adaptability are S82’s other strengths. For half a year, I thought P8510 had the best last from VICTOR. A960 was too tight, and P9210’s toe was slightly pointed. However, after extended wear, P8510’s cotton lining compressed, leaving some extra space on the outer side of the foot. S82’s knitted upper is softer and more comfortable, with low hardness that prevents hard collisions with the foot over time, unlike P8510.
S82’s toe features a thin TPU layer on the outer side and two layers on the inner side, reducing wear during dragging steps. This design, using TPU instead of dense but heavy KPU, shows the designer’s dedication to lightweighting. TPUs are becoming stronger, making them inevitable replacements for KPU. Perhaps KPU’s decade-long reign is coming to an end due to its weight. Looking back at the S80, material advancements are truly remarkable.
Since the introduction of knitted uppers in badminton shoes, doubts persisted about their support. In my opinion, no upper material can withstand the intense and concentrated stress on the foot during high-intensity play. Excellent stability should divert stress to the sole rather than resisting it, akin to guiding water rather than blocking it, as in the legend of Yu the Great. Although S82’s upper is less sturdy, its foot plane inclination, forefoot flex point, and arch support are well-designed, ensuring stable startup and landing. But in case of accidental ankle sprains, S82’s upper might not provide enough containment. For stability, P8510 is still the better choice.
Another drawback of S82 is its insole. Despite anti-pressure designs on the forefoot’s inner and outer sides, the material feels insufficient. The lack of a “blue block” insole leaves a sour taste. Fortunately, VICTOR offers various insole options, so you can always upgrade.
Summary
In summary, S82 is an outstanding lightweight shoe with excellent comfort and shock absorption, resembling comprehensive shoes. Its thicker forefoot maintains quick startup while eliminating the discomfort of thin-soled speed shoes. However, the lightweight upper may compromise long-term durability under high-intensity use, ultimately depending on your budget.

Badminton Shoes Victor P8500II Reviews
Recently, Victory has also timely released its new masterpiece P8500II at the beginning of the year, marking the long-awaited upgrade of the classic legendary shoe P8500 generation.
Appearance:
The P8500II comes in three colors—black, white, and red—all of which are visually appealing. In design, it not only inherits and upgrades the classic side claw structure of the first generation but also incorporates Victory’s latest HYPEREVA material, which is used more extensively. This material reduces weight while ensuring sufficient shock absorption, quick startup, and a balanced combination of lightness, softness, and elasticity, providing a highly comfortable overall foot feel.
From the outside of the shoe, the overall design is dominated by red, featuring large areas of bright and dark red hyperfiber PU synthetic leather. The gold side claw support structure, resembling an eagle’s claw, is very eye-catching. In the middle of the vamp and the ankle area, there are gold triangles and lines, and the ankle area adopts a molded technology that gives the shoe surface a more geometric and three-dimensional look, enhancing both visual effects and shoe surface support for better protection.
The inside of the shoe is also dominated by red with a few gold lines, similar to the outside. The standout feature is the large area of wear-resistant KPU material that extends from the toe to the instep, with considerable thickness and large printed letters, including “tough,” indicating its reliable wear resistance.
Personal Opinion: The only flaw in my opinion is that the tongue seems a bit too high. Although this design provides better ankle protection, it looks slightly abrupt from an aesthetic perspective. Perhaps a tongue height similar to that of the 970ace would be more visually appealing. However, this is just my personal preference, and I respect differing opinions.
VSR Rubber Outsole:
The VSR rubber outsole has an original color for the forefoot and red for the heel, with intricate tread patterns providing excellent grip. The hollowed-out parts reveal the embedded black carbon fiber support plate within the midsole.
From the top view, the red hyperfiber PU synthetic leather features carbon fiber patterns, and the shoe surface has many ventilation holes for breathability and heat dissipation. The wide toe box design is friendly to players with wider feet. For those who love the 970ace but hesitate due to foot width, I highly recommend trying the P8500II—it’s sure to be a pleasant surprise. The large tongue with the prominent Victory logo is also eye-catching.
Weight and Performance Comparison:
The weight of the 43-size shoe is measured at around 339.5g, comparable to the S82 and 970ace. However, the P8500II excels in cushioning, lateral support, and wrapping, feeling more balanced overall and reminiscent of a wider version of the 970ace.
On-Foot Experience:
Wrapping: The shoe provides a snug fit with good fixation during movement. The extensive use of hyperfiber PU synthetic leather makes the vamp highly durable and offers strong wrapping. The ankle area is generously padded, and the enlarged tongue and raised heel provide ample ankle protection. Overall, the wrapping performance is impressive, surpassing the S82 and on par with the P8510 and 970ace.
Grip: The VSR rubber outsole with intricate tread patterns ensures strong grip during various movements, allowing for easy and worry-free play. The grip performance is comparable to the S82, P8510, and 970ace.
Cushioning: The shoe feels lightweight, soft, and bouncy, with the HYPEREVA midsole and heel cushion effectively absorbing and rapidly returning energy, enhancing stride consistency and landing stability. Combined with the ENERGYMAX 3.0 insole, the overall cushioning performance is excellent, with a lighter weight and quicker startup. The cushioning performance surpasses the S82 and P8510 and is on par with the 970ace, with slightly better forefoot cushioning.
Torsion Resistance: The upgraded side claw structure significantly enhances lateral stability, providing reassuring torsion resistance. The carbon fiber stabilizer and TPU further strengthen the support, ensuring ample protection even during intense confrontations. The torsion resistance performance is better than the S82 and P8510 and on par with the 970ace.
Durability: Both the vamp and outsole exhibit strong durability. The thick KPU material on the inside vamp outperforms the S82 and 970ace in terms of wear resistance, being on par with the P8510.
Breathability: After three hours of gameplay, the feet remain relatively comfortable due to the numerous ventilation holes. Although not as breathable as the S82 with its large mesh design, the breathability is sufficient and outperforms the P8510.
Overall Impression:
The P8500II is another powerful and well-rounded shoe with good looks. Equipped with HYPEREVA, upgraded side claw structure, lateral LS-S system, and thickened wear-resistant KPU, it offers a comfortable and reliable wearing experience. As a continuation of the legend, this high-end new year offering is definitely worth a try.

Badminton Shoes Victor P9200 Reviews
If there’s a so-called “versatile” racket model like the JS-12II that you can’t go wrong with,
Then among basketball shoes, there must also be its own “versatile choice” – the P9200.
As a “versatile” option, it stands tall in the line of top-tier shoes, a pair that you won’t regret buying.
But today’s protagonist is the more refined and striking “Hang” series variant of the P9200, which boasts not just a change in color but also modifications in overall details.
Key Details:
- The “Hang” series logo on the tongue stands out prominently.
- A convenient “handle” has been added to the heel for easy putting on and taking off.
Personal Favorite:
I own three colors of the P9200, and so far, I think they’re the most appealing ones. Feel free to share your favorite color choices with me.
Wearing Experience:
Durability & Protection:
The V-Duable+ anti-abrasion patch, praised by consumers in previous P9200 models, enhances both the shoe’s upper stability and toe durability. It’s not uncommon to hear from players that “the shoes are almost two years old, yet the upper remains intact.”
Weight:
The P9200-Hang weighs 346g, essentially maintaining the original P9200’s weight and meeting the lightweight standard of under 350g.
Fit:
With a 2.5 width and 3E standard last design, the P9200-Hang offers excellent compatibility, making it a true “versatile” shoe. As someone with a Greek foot type, I find it more spacious and comfortable in the forefoot compared to narrower 3E shoes like the A950/A960, closely resembling the fit of the S82.
On-Court Performance:
Forefoot Responsiveness:
The P9200-Hang shines in its all-around game performance. It provides a solid, powerful push-off and swift initiation. The ENERGYMAX 3.0 cushioning technology in the forefoot ensures a soft yet responsive feedback upon single-leg landings, facilitating quick restarts, comparable to the speed-focused S82.
Lateral Support:
The embedded side claws significantly increase the outsole’s surface area, providing excellent support and stability during wide lateral movements.
Heel Quick Rebound:
Since 2016, the P9200 series has integrated innovative cushioning technologies like ENERGYMAX 3.0+NEO DUPLEX. Now, with the upgrade to E-TPU and hyper EVA, there’s a leap in cushioning performance and material durability.
The P9200-Hang, however, retains the more mature and stable ENERGYMAX V technology in the heel. While the previous dual-density midsole offered a softer heel cushioning, ENERGYMAX V emphasizes a quicker rebound, feeling more direct and responsive upon contact.
For average players, the P9200-Hang’s cushioning is ample. Players requiring more cushioning due to their weight might prefer the E-TPU-equipped P9200CC or the latest A970-ACE.
Bonus: If Victor combines their latest E-TPU foam cushioning with hyper EVA midsole material, the P9200 could potentially reach even greater heights in overall performance.
Aesthetics:
The P9200-Hang is visually impeccable, making my other P9200 colorways pale in comparison.
Extra Detail:
The shoe comes with a flagship-level midfoot reinforcement in the insole, a rarity in today’s market where insole features are often compromised. As always, you can rely on Victor’s insole quality. The waffle pattern enhances grip and traction, aiding in forefoot initiation. After games, give your insoles some air by letting them breathe in the sun.
In conclusion, the P9200 series, with its blend of excellent all-round performance, stylish looks, durability, and wear resistance, surpasses even the title of “versatile” and borders on “legendary” status in the badminton shoe world. Its success stems from multiple factors, and choosing the P9200 makes us comrades in sports!
