  • Local running shoes dominate the Indonesian market throughout May 2026 due to high demand from urban running communities.
  • Ten local brands like Ortuseight, 910 Nineten, and Specs are increasingly popular due to social media trends.
  • Improved design quality and competitive pricing make local products the top choice for performance and lifestyle.

The running trend in Indonesia shows no signs of slowing down. Every weekend, tracks at Gelora Bung Karno, Lapangan Banteng, and other major city jogging areas are always full of runners.

Interestingly, what is now most often seen are not foreign brands. Local brands are taking center stage.

From TikTok to the Sunday Morning Run community, several models have gone viral and sold out quickly on marketplaces. Many runners admit they have to “fight” for sizes because stock often runs out a few days after heavy social media discussion.

This phenomenon has made competition among local brands in May 2026 much fiercer than in previous years.

Gelora Bung Karno

Gelora Bung Karno is a major sports complex in Jakarta, Indonesia, named after the country’s first president, Sukarno (often called Bung Karno). Built in the early 1960s to host the 1962 Asian Games, its centerpiece is the iconic main stadium, which has since undergone major renovations and hosted events like the 2018 Asian Games. The complex remains a symbol of national pride and a key venue for sports and cultural events in Indonesia.

Lapangan Banteng

Lapangan Banteng (Buffalo Field) is a historic square in Central Jakarta, Indonesia, originally built during the Dutch colonial era and named after the buffalo statues that once stood there. It was the site of the 1970s construction of the iconic Monumen Pembebasan Irian Barat (West Irian Liberation Monument) and has served as a venue for protests and public gatherings. Today, it remains a significant public space, surrounded by colonial-era buildings and modern landmarks.
