The Nikes and Reboks seemed as expensive (or more) than at home. Unless you want the fakes (poor feet).
Shopping in Lombok is not really on. Get someone to take you to the villages that make the pots of batiks and buy there. Otherwise it is batiks and tshirts off the beach hawkers.
Some things from Lombok were available in Kuta shops.
We found that his time the shopping was only good for things made locally (if you bargained fairly hard) not for cheap brand names.
