I UNDS one of my Black Infrareds today just to get a sense of fit comparison. I have the 2014 Carmine 6s and I think that the Black Infrareds fit SLIGHTLY more snug than the Carmines. And when I say slightly, I'm referring to the areas lateral to the pinky toe, and area above the big toe. I'm a true 9.5, wearing regular cotton Nike no show ankle socks (NOT the dri-fit, NOT elite).
I know the sizing discussion will never end (just like the Infrared topic), but I try to get my true size with every release for peace of mind fit. I'd rather have my sneakers be loose/slightly loose than too tight. Slightly loose kicks can easily be managed with thicker (brand new) socks. My only outlier are my 2012 Playoff 11s which are a size 10 that I got as a gift from my brother.
that information actually helped since I had to order .5 up from my regular size today..
