Likely fake Nike product that started falling apart within 3 weeks and no Customer Service Support to Replace
I bought nike shorts through Midway. Within 3 weeks (and having only worn the shorts once or twice) the nike swoosh started peeling off. I have significant doubts these are authentic Nike shorts. When I contacted Midway, they indicated that per their policy, since >2 weeks had passed, there was nothing they would do. I've trusted Nike products and know THEY have good customer service. When I asked I asked if they would work with nike to replace a defective product, they replied with the exact same message: since >2 weeks had passed, they wouldn't do anything. Avoid Midway Sports if you are looking for authentic Nike, quality products and any kind of reasonable customer service. Updated 7/13/2026 (after Midway responded to my post). I recognize that Midway has a 2-week return policy, but in my opinion, in the instance of a manufacturing defect such as this that happens within 1 month of puchase, on a Nike product for which full-price was paid, there should be accomodations. Nike itself has a 60 day policy and I'm certain (again) in instances of clear manufacturing defect, they would be accomodating of a good authorized retailer. The part I find especially frustrating was, I was travelling in the immediate two weeks after I received the shorts and didn't touch them. It was only once I got back and wore them for the first time, that I was able to notice the defect.
