Default Paint peeling

Most of the time I have to send in my shoes for the warranty because when you slide on hard-courts, you WILL get a hole around the top toe area. I've stopped doing this to make my shoes last longer, but sometimes will resort to the slide in desperate times. I was playing with the Prince Rebel LS and went to the slide to get a shot and when I looked at my shoes after the point the yellow paint peeled right of in the area. It's about quarter sized, and I didn't even slide that hard. Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm not sure if I'm completely understanding the question correctly, but I scratched the yellow paint off my Rebels as well in several areas just from a quick slide for a hard to reach ball.

Just the paint.

YES! I was grinding the shoe, just a quick slide. It seems that the paint comes off so easily...
