Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The adopted 275g value is the approximate US9 half-pair weight from Goldwin's official Japan NF02601 page. The official US NF0A8DAJ page lists approximately 277g, retained as a regional-page difference.
- Plate note
- The complete exact Goldwin NF02601 construction lists a mesh/TPU upper, DREAM foam midsole and SurfaceCTRL rubber outsole without a carbon structure. This supports carbon_plate=false; whether an unstated non-carbon internal plate exists is not established.
