Funny, all my first run classics (outside of baby blue) have become more slick over time, even after washing. Kinda frustrating because I really like their initial feel. I grabbed a couple of the blends and they feel great in hand, but they might be a little too soft for me still (I've not thrown them yet).Really though the first run classics after a few months are not slick at all and soften up considerably but I do enjoy the blend.
Perfect world Judge for me would be the FR's stiffness and stamp and the blend's tacky grip. A man can dream...
