Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Brooks US official product page states 10.1oz / 286.3g.
- Plate note
- Brooks' exact product page describes the DNA LOFT v3 midsole, redesigned midsole/outsole and engineered air-mesh upper without identifying a carbon structure. Fleet Feet's exact product page corroborates the same major construction, supporting a false carbon-plate classification.
