Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Topo Athletic Japan's exact men's product page lists 261 g for men's M9 and 213 g for women's W7.
- Plate note
- The exact official JP men's page provides a complete product and technology description covering the dual-density ZipFoam midsole, recycled mesh upper, core specifications, and featured technologies. Fleet Feet's exact men's page corroborates that construction without identifying a carbon structure, so carbon_plate remains false. The presence or absence of any non-carbon plate structure is not asserted.
