Show source notes

Release note: Representative year-level timing uses non-lab running-news coverage describing the model as a summer 2024 release. Exact-day reports conflict between August 1 and August 14, so no day is adopted.
Source note: The exact Taiwan men's Balos v1 MBALCE1 page now passes normal-browser navigation and visibly confirms 259.8 g, 6 mm, PEBA-blended Fresh Foam X, ground-contact EVA and reflective details. Fleet Feet's factual matched men's MBAL-1D-CE1 Details block supplies engineered-mesh upper information; wear-test quotations, ratings and comparative ride claims are excluded. Preserve the registered USD 199.99 historical price: the old US collection lacks Balos, the newly found exact US URL redirects to a generic category, and Running Warehouse's candidate renders page-not-found. Fleet Feet's current USD 200 is not silently substituted. A healthy Japan women's WBALV1 outlet page displays original JPY 24,200 beside a discount, but men's price scope and JP launch timing remain unresolved. Exact manufacturer stack heights remain unknown.
