If he signed a long form contract with lots of "fine print" it could be what is known as an adhesion contract and a court might not enforce it against him.

With the facts as they are, I'm siding with Nike here. This type of action only comes after other types of communication have failed.
Are people upset that this happened at a meet? With the travel schedules most of these elite runners have, it seems like the only logical way to know exactly where they are in order to issue the summons.

I agree. People on Let'srun or in track in general like to be bully's because they can. GG and her mafia bullied Cain after she was rightfully dq'd a few years ago despite indisputable evidence that she should be dq'd. The only tragedy was that it wasn't done right on the first review. And then everyone took up the GG bandwagon because it wasn't right! I justice! How dare evil Nike and Al sal dq their runner.
Now Borris and you get people blindly supporting him when he's probably at fault like GG. That bum from T-Mobile who supports Symmonds not surprisingly is one of them.
I hate Nike and bet John Cappriotti and his thug friends are behind this.
Even if is legally correct, Boris being an individual athlete stupid enough to not honor a contract he's signed is a Dick move, a dumb Dick move. Immature and stupid, as in ignorant can't get through college, stupid move.
Children, please.
What are your SAT scores and college degrees? Income percentile rounded to the nearest 10%, and most importantly what are your PRs?
Yeah, ok. So when overseas Nike factories get assessed new repatriation taxes from HRC after years of evasion, catching money flowing into Nike's onshore shell accounts in Wilmington Delaware, they can be served as well. Oh but where????
Hmmm. How about someone walk into Nike HQ in Beaverton during a huge investor meeting, walk right into the room, and serve the Nike the CEO during his pitch to officials from Vietnam, Thailand, and Sri Lananka, who are there vying for new factories. Because the the server knew the CEO would be there...... At HQ. touche faulk wads.
Such a vindictive, dick move to disrupt him at a competition... My feeling is, Boris' agent really botched things with Nike and has bad blood there.
But for you Nike sympathizers, or any other show company.... give it a rest. Boris was working at Macdees and you have nothing to win by insulting an athlete at a competition. All these shoe companies moved American jobs overseas and are the 1% CEO's now. They are the problem. trade deals are one thing all candidates agree on, but Bernie is clearly spot on.
Curious though, Hey Boris did they serve you after your race or before your race? If they waited until after his race, that is a little bit of class. If before, screw Nike. yeah, that would be time to crowd fund for Boris at that point...

It wasn't Cain, it was Hasay. GG bumped into Hasay. At least get that part right. There was an appeal, it was denied, then 3 hours later the jury came back after watching "enhanced video footage" and DQ'd her. Salazar jumped into the jury tent, etc. etc. Perception wise it was pretty shady. GG's coach was told he couldn't appeal, because the time had expired, but he didn't know about anything until the next day. Eventually Hasay and Salazar dropped the appeal and somehow GG was named the winner by Max Siegel. LRC documented the who sordid affair pretty well.
Why is there any shock about this, the guy breached his contract. What other job/career would the same thing not happen?
No one cares about the contract dispute (until the facts come out)
How and where he was served is the issue right now...
Do you serve Steph Curry on the court while he is warming up? How about during a set change for Lady Gaga at a concert? Or serve the Nike CEO during contract negotiations with another company at HQ main office?
For us working Joes, it doesn't happen like this. Probably not for other performing artists or athletes either........... because it is not necessary.
Nike does not need the money, clearly. There is not other way to see that other than what it is...

He did get it right. The group of girls held hands after Cain won her race and Cain had nothing to do with any of it. It was like a scene out of mean girls.
Imagine if you were an engineer and you quit your job and went to work, right away, with a competitor soon after. In the software world they have non-compete clauses for such things.
I think a similar scenario would be if Berian was briefed on future shoe designs or gave input on future shoe designs (much like Mo does). If he quit right away and jumped ship to a competitor's contract then Berian could be divulging sensitive info before Nike even revealed their next year's shoe models.
If that is the case then Nike has all the rights to sue the shit out of him. I bet there is a clause in his contract that forbids him to jump ship within the same year. Read the full contract Berian before you jump ship .
Just because you or another lawyer likes a member of U2 known for his sunglasses does not mean they are good lawyers. Check out page 2 of this thread:

I thought I knew what "diversity" meant, but what does it mean here (5th case from top = Nike vs. Berian)?
https://dockets.justia.com/browse/state-oregon/noscat-1/nos-190
diversity here just means the parties are citizens of different, or "diverse," states, which is what gets them into fed court. typically breach of K would be a state law cause of action.
None of those people travel like runners do though, does steph go back and forth between some remote place in Ethiopia or Kenya and his home? And even between other places as well? Don't know if Boris does but it makes sense to get him at the race. Professional runners aren't like most others.

If you don't sue people who break their contracts, no one has any reason to honor their contract with you. If Nike decides to be the nice guy who doesn't sue individual athletes, then they are telling their athletes "feel free to walk away from your contract with us whenever it suits you."
Anyway, this is just business. Let's not get emotional about it.
Fittish:
"Altitude-trained, lives to run, proven wheels, humble, struggling—Berian had all the requirements for Big Bear. Handler doesn’t have a Facebook account, so he asked Danny Guerrero to contact Berian to see if he was interested in joining their group. Their offer was bare bones—no stipend, but help with rent and travel, and gear from Martinez’s New Balance largesse.
“I was like, ‘Yes!’ Their offer came at a really good time,†said Berian, who showed up in Big Bear on December 1, 2014 with high hopes and very few belongings."
Did he already have a contract with Handler and/or New Balance?

Uncle Phil says it was all a misunderstanding.

If the purpose is to remind the world you own the sport, yes.
