In 2025, running in Indonesia isn’t just about pace but also about presence. From early-morning joggers in Jakarta to trail runners on Bali’s volcanic slopes, runners want gear that feels good, works hard, and says something about who they are.
Brands know that design and branding are a matter of personal preference, so each one is making its own bold statement.
Cotton That Breathes: Satisfy Running’s MothTech Innovation
Satisfy Running is breaking the old “no cotton” rule. Their MothTech™ line uses small, body-mapped holes that keep cotton cool and breathable where it matters most. This is cotton you can run in—even in Indonesia’s tropical heat.
And they’re not stopping there. Their new trail shoe, The Rocker https://satisfyrunning.com/collections/the-rocker?srsltid=AfmBOop2ghg7UmVmxA32cqirOEOLPr36-nernaV79PbrYuIZGYLcVML-, has been one of the most anticipated drops this year, showing that Satisfy is just as committed to innovation underfoot as on the body.

Bandit Running brings New York’s street energy to performance gear. Their women’s collection is as detailed and technical as their men’s, but with the added twist of bold, fearless graphics. It’s unapologetic, confident, and made for runners who want their kit to have personality.

Local Perspective: Beyond Running
From Jakarta, Beyond Running is small but rising. Their gear is lightweight, breathable, and designed for Indonesia’s humidity and unpredictable weather. It’s proof that a brand can be both practical and personal—rooted in local running culture while delivering modern design.
