The Brand Behind the Clouds: On Running’s Bali Pop-Up Store in Pererenan

Swiss performance running brand On has brought its signature blend of innovation, design, and community-driven movement culture to Bali with the opening of its pop-up store in Pererenan. Located at Shore Amora, next to Lenny’s on Jalan Pantai Pererenan, the space serves as both a retail destination and a meeting point for Bali’s growing running community. Founded in Switzerland in 2010, On has become one of the fastest-growing names in performance running. The brand is best known for its distinctive CloudTec® cushioning technology, designed to deliver a soft landing followed by an explosive take-off. What began as a niche running brand has evolved into a global sportswear company worn by everyone from elite athletes to recreational runners and fitness enthusiasts. Today, On’s product lineup extends beyond running shoes to include training footwear, performance apparel, outdoor gear, and lifestyle collections.

A Test of Bali’s Potential

Bali has become one of Southeast Asia’s most active destinations for runners. From sunrise runs along the beaches of Canggu to trail running in the island’s mountainous regions, movement has become part of everyday life for both locals and visitors. For a brand like On, Bali offers more than beautiful scenery. It provides access to an engaged community that values health, wellness, and outdoor activity. We first visited the store earlier this year and spoke with members of the team about why On chose Bali for its latest retail activation. The Pererenan location places the brand in the heart of one of Bali’s most active neighborhoods, surrounded by gyms, wellness businesses, cafes, and a growing population of runners. According to the staff, the pop-up serves as an opportunity for the brand to better understand the local market and assess the potential for a deeper commitment to Bali in the future. While no plans have been officially announced, the team shared that the pop-up allows On to gauge interest from both residents and visitors, understand consumer demand, and explore what a longer-term presence on the island could look like. That could potentially include a dedicated retail store if the market continues to grow. Given the rapid rise of running culture in Bali, it’s easy to see why the brand is paying attention.

What You’ll Find Inside

The store carries one of the most complete selections of On products currently available in Bali. Visitors can explore a wide range of running shoes, training footwear, technical apparel, lifestyle clothing, and accessories designed for both performance and everyday wear. Whether you’re looking for a race-day shoe, a daily trainer, a lightweight running top, or accessories for your next workout, the pop-up offers an opportunity to experience the brand’s ecosystem in one location. The minimalist design reflects On’s Swiss roots while embracing Bali’s relaxed atmosphere, creating a space that feels equally suited for shopping, recovery after a run, or connecting with fellow athletes.

A Sign of Bali’s Growing Running Culture

The arrival of On’s Bali pop-up is another indication of how much the island’s fitness scene has evolved in recent years. Global brands are increasingly recognizing Bali not only as a tourism destination but also as a hub for movement, endurance sports, and active lifestyles. Through community runs, product trials, and a dedicated retail presence, On is positioning itself at the center of that growth. Whether the pop-up eventually leads to a permanent store remains to be seen. But the fact that a global running brand is actively testing the waters in Bali speaks volumes about the strength of the island’s fitness community and its growing influence in the region. For runners visiting Pererenan, the store is worth a stop—not only to browse the latest collections, but also to get a closer look at how one of the world’s fastest-growing running brands is engaging with Bali’s thriving running community.
