Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Approximately 310g for one 27.0cm shoe from the clearly bounded WAVE SKY 6 row in Mizuno Japan's official Wave Rider 26 lineup table.
Plate note
The exact HK construction identifies Foam Wave with differing foam layers, CORE and ENERZY FOAM rather than a carbon plate. Exact UK technology corroborates Foam Wave/X10 but has stale Sky5 prose, so it is not the sole classification basis. X10 carbon rubber is outsole material, not a carbon plate.
