This is called the Victor SH-A920:

Miguel Angel Rodriguez was wearing these at the 2016 HK Open. Thanks to Frank for the tip!

Miguel’s a longtime Salming guy, and has figured pretty heavily in Salming’s ad campaigns, including for the recent launch of the Salming Kobra. Not sure what’s up with the sudden switch to Victor.
Karim Abdel Gawad used these for a bit too:

Smart move by Victor for sponsoring the new world no. 1!

I found it quite odd that Rodriguez wasn’t wearing Salming. Had to be a bad falling out considering he was the face of their squash line, and all over their new campaign, and he was even doing video ads talking about Salming. Such a strange switch to go over to Victor who isn’t even really into the squash game, and has no top ranked players playing with their gear. I know that Raph Kandra plays with Victor gear, but he’s ranked in the 40-60 range.

Victor is even touting his choice on Tennisnuts.com website:

Could be the conflict with Salming and their push into racquet sales; seeing that he has his own Tecnifibre signature racquet. Kind of strange to see him on the Salming landing page with a Tecnifibre racquet in his hand.
