True. I could send them back to Prada for repair just like I could send the Elites back to Nike and actually and get a voucher. But like you said I'm OK with both of them and it's cool. I'll probably get some more wears out of the Elites and send them back at the end of the year. Get a voucher to offset the cost of the X+ kit or something like that.But you can send the shoe back to Prada, and they will change the defect for you. With every Prada purchase, the item comes with a proof of purchase authenticity card.I've actually had something similar happen to a pair of Prada loafers. Thankfully got them discounted at Neiman Marcus Outlet ($245 instead of retail $620) but still it happened. The Silver didn't "chip" but it tarnished and could not be cleaned off without damaging the lock and the rest of the shoe. Is very noticeable. It can happen to anything honestly. After I put the shoe on I really don't care about that tarnish just like I don't care about the chip on the swoosh as much. The Swoosh chipping doesn't compromise the performance or the durability of the actual shoe. That's my point. The shoe is very well made with the exception of the check, which has nothing but an aesthetic purpose. At the end of the day, are you going to play better hoops if your swoosh doesn't chip?
I've done it for my lady and her Prada handbag.
The swoosh chipping leaves the shoe looking sloppy, which is a defect. You can't send them back to Nike for them to fix, because they intentionally put the swoosh on like that.
But hey, if you are happy with the shoes? Cool.
I know that I would not be.
