Sorry for the basic question, but does anyone have sizing advice on the new 650R? I've seen people recommend your regular Brannock size, half size down, and even a full size down for the 550. I assume the 650R will fit like the 550, but is there a "general consensus" on sizing for the 550?

I'd go with your Brannock size on these. I'm between a 9 and 9.5 on the Brannock and usually wear a 9.5 in everything except miUSA NBs and AF1s. A 41 in CPs is a bit too tight, but a 42 is a bit loose. For the 550s, I went with a 9, but only because there was some heel slip in a 9.5. The 9 is pretty snug especially if I wear it for a few hours with crew socks.

For these 650s I think since they're a high top that's a non issue so I'd personally recommend sticking to your brannock size.

I'm in for the green ones and would be tempted to get a grey pair too. Hoping TTS works for me.

Went for a grey - I think the shoe isn't for everyone but it brings back super nostalgic vibes and I think it works well with a pretty wide range of aesthetics

Was I the only one hoping that there would be more than the duffle and varsity? Would have loved to secure some socks, shorts, and a campaign tee if it was an option.

Brannock size for me as well. I had a half size up on the initial run of 550s and they looked like boats plus the aforementioned heel slip.

nothing screams must haves to me, some nice pieces here and there. my favourite is probably this wooly overshirt but it probably looks like a $10 thrifted shirt if I actually put it on

I like both Varsity. Any idea on what pricing may be and are the varsity oversized? I am guessing the model is wearing medium and there looks to be plenty of room for layering. I may just sz down, not a fan of oversized fits
