Hey guys, just want to share something as far as sizing is concerned.
Let me set my TTS to 8.0 which is what I wear in UBs and J1s
What I know is that if from TTS, I go
All V1 TTS -0.5
V2 Beluga TTS
V2 Blacks TTS +0.5
Which is why I went 7.5 for the V1s and that worked great for me, wearing my MRs feel comfy for sure.
When Belugas released I wasn't able to get an 8.0. However I salvaged a US7.0
V2 Blacks, I was skeptical of the TTS+0.5 so I went 8.0
I received my Belugas just now primarily because I shipped it to an overseas address and only bothered getting it when relatives came for the holiday.
Now I did a side by side photo of the three variations for reference.
It should be noted that all my purchases are from Adidas US, except for Belugas which was from BarneysNY

Now it puzzles me a bit because all three - 8.0 Black, 7.5 MR, 7.0 Beluga - are sized almost identically
From what people suggest, I should've gone US8 for the Belugas. But belugas US7 and black US8 doesn't look like 1 whole size apart at all...
Although Belugas look a bit smaller, possibly just a half a cm smaller, yeah?

Should be noted tho that the V2s definitely snug up the moment you wear it but I wouldnt consider it uncomfy or too tight.
Not sure how it goes after maybe a couple of times you break it in. Still maybe a play for wide feet.
I feel like the Belugas are sized like the V1s only with a slimmer silhouette which is why most people size up by half.
Should be noted that I got another US9 for the blacks and sold it to a friend for retail
He wears TTS8.5 with the UB so I thought it was okay for him given the +0.5 suggestion, but he traded it for an 8.5 and thought it fit perfectly.
Another reference is the one he traded his US9.0 with. Trader claims he is a US8.5 in belugas but prefer 9.0 in blacks. So yeah.
Now I'm thinking I won't bother with finding a trade considering the size difference doesn't impact me as much.
I know this confuses a lot of people but the sizing just isn't consistent.
Nevertheless I'm sticking with US8.0 if given the chance for a next release.
Nice comparison.
