Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Approx. 290g for one shoe at 27.0cm from the Mizuno Japan exact product page. Mizuno USA canonical page lists 10.2 oz for size 9 as regional context.
Plate note
The full exact US technical list and AU model specification identify Foam Wave, ENERZY NXT, X10 and woven/gusseted upper without a carbon structure. The JP table corroborates layered foam construction. False follows complete exact official specs, not generic MIZUNO WAVE naming alone; X10 carbon rubber is not plate evidence.
