Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The exact official JP product page and the Japanese distributor launch release both list 212 g per men's M9 shoe.
Plate note
The exact official JP product page and Japanese distributor launch release provide a complete construction description covering the ZipFoam midsole, rubber outsole, rocker geometry, recycled mesh, and Ortholite footbed, with no carbon structure. REI's exact men's product page corroborates the main construction, so carbon_plate is classified as false. The presence or absence of any non-carbon plate structure is not asserted.
