He&#8217;s been accused of participating in a scheme designed to unlawfully acquire unreleased Nike shoe models. The accusation resulted in a raid on his L.A. warehouse and seizure of several million dollars worth of merchandise, nearly two years ago. Now, Andre has decided to strike back against his accusers. He&#8217;s filed a suit against Nike, the L.A.P.D., the city of Los Angeles, and several Nike employees and police detectives in federal court in California, looking to set the situation right.<\/p>\n<p>Andre is a Croatian native who moved to the U.S.A. at a young age. An avid sneakerhead and a long-time member of the sneaker community, he founded Project Blitz in 2012. Since then, he&#8217;s grown the brand into a multi-million dollar business. His collection includes rarities such as one of only four signed Air Jordan models that<strong> Michael Jordan<\/strong> wore while filming Space Jam. Project Blitz&#8217;s clientele includes high-profile personas from the world of music, sports, and more.<strong> Jay-Z<\/strong>, <strong>Rihanna<\/strong>, and <strong>Drake<\/strong> are only some of the celebrities who have made purchases at Project Blitz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blackout Hip Hop salutes our brother Dre and wishes him best of luck.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"222619\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/project-blitz-owner-sues-nike-and-l-a-p-d\/andre-ljustina-and-drake\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake.avif\" data-orig-size=\"2292,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"Andre lju\u0161tina and Drake\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-1024x536.avif\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-222619\" src=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"2292\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake.avif 2292w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-540x283.avif 540w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-1024x536.avif 1024w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-768x402.avif 768w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-1536x804.avif 1536w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake-2048x1072.avif 2048w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake.avif 1280w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Andre-ljustina-and-Drake.avif 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Lju\u0161tina, owner of the high-profile sneaker &amp; streetwear retail brand, Project Blitz, has found&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":222613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-222611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Andre Lju\u0161tina, owner of the high-profile sneaker &amp; streetwear retail brand, Project Blitz, has found himself in a significant predicament.
