The model in your attached image is Wellgo QRD-M079. I have two pairs and are quite happy with their performance. You can't find much info here because the only way to obtain them in the US is through Asian sellers on eBay. I like them better than MKS Ezy line because there's no extra coupling ring to lose. Comparing to Ezy Superior line, these are lighter and cheaper. They grip well, and there are several cool colors to choose from to match your bike. But the thing I like the best is that I can install foot straps on them.

In case you are not familiar with foot straps, they are very popular among fixie riders. I don't ride fixie but do appreciate the control these foot straps provide. In my experience they are much better than Power Grips (which can be used on M079 too), and don't get me started with cages. Check out some of them here:
