Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The 292 g value is listed on Tonton Outdoor's exact men's authorized-retailer product page. The previous New Balance Ukraine official URL now renders a Cloudflare block, so the public weight source should be replaced.
Plate note
Exact official construction and technology specifications cover the single-material Fresh Foam X geometry, blown-rubber outsole, gusseted tongue, and Hypoknit upper, with no carbon structure identified. Classify carbon_plate=false under the complete-spec policy; this does not assert that no non-carbon plate exists.
