Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Naturum's exact men's NF02001 specification lists 325 g per half pair at 9 inches. The dated Trail Runner.JP launch notice lists 320 g at the same nominal size. The B-strength retailer value is selected, with the 5 g source disagreement retained; no women's or FUTURELIGHT weight is substituted.
Plate note
Carbon status remains unknown because a complete exact official plate/material specification is unavailable. TPU upper reinforcement and heel/toe protection are not classified as an underfoot plate.
