<![CDATA[Abstract. This study examines the influence of Instagram content and brand awareness on purchase intention toward Kanky Sportstyle shoes in Bandung City. The research was motivated by a preliminary survey indicating that attractive Instagram content did not proportionally increase brand awareness and purchase intention. A quantitative method with a descriptive-verificative approach was employed. Primary data were collected through an online Likert-scale questionnaire from 130 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The respondents were consumers in Bandung City who had viewed, followed, or interacted with Kanky Sportstyle's Instagram content. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The results indicate that Instagram content and brand awareness each have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention. Simultaneously, both variables explain 53.2% of the variance in purchase intention, while the remaining 46.8% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings highlight the importance of developing engaging Instagram content alongside strengthening brand awareness to increase consumers' purchase intention toward local footwear brands.
