Source note: Yodobashi's exact NF02306 page visibly supports the JPY 18,920 manufacturer suggested retail price, 2023-08-01 retail availability, and approximately 293g at men's US9. The exact US NF0A4OAW page also passes normal-browser acceptance and visibly shows 297g, 30/24mm, 6mm offset, a 3D TPU plate, high-rebound EVA, and Surface CTRL. Preserve 293g and 297g as distinct regional product evidence.
