Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The Japan announcement explicitly states about 230g for a unisex 27.0cm shoe. The exact US product page also lists 230g, but does not state its own sample size.
- Plate note
- The complete exact US technology list and Japan's same-model construction description contain no carbon plate or rod. The no-carbon classification is based on those complete specifications, not a claim that every kind of plate is absent.
