sponsor & collabs

Teaming up at the crag is how we grow together. No one is too small or insignificant and no name is too big for us to reach up to.

We're the source of all your problems

PROBLEM CHILD DNA

Founded in Australia in 2026, Problem Child designs custom streetwear for climbers - from young Microsenders learning the ropes (or the boulders!), through to established professional climbers. Our goal is a distinct voice and design language, with a universal appeal.

OUTSPOKEN

We bring bold, unapologetic, rebellious designs that are proudly rooted in real climbing culture.

EVOLVING

We are always moving, exploring, enriching, and uncovering new facets of our brand's DNA.

AWARE

We are forever listening and responding, and conscious of our environment and the products we place within it.

OUR AESTHETIC

Our brand aesthetic has its own vibe, character, and creative appeal. A major focus is on consistently refining, releasing, optimising our designs. Our community of pro and recreational climbers is central to this plan. Every single climber we connect with will input directly into how our products come to life.

🌶️ Real custom style

ALL THE FUNK

Problem Child designs are 100% crafted from scratch — no templates, no shortcuts, no recycled silhouettes. Every piece starts as a blank page and is built through our own sketches, patterns and prototypes. We climb in it, break it, refine it and rebuild it until it earns the stamp. Pure originality, zero copy‑paste energy.

😍 A bit of a vibe

NOT SO SERIOUS

Problem Child is fun at its core — a brand that loves climbing, loves chaos and refuses to take itself too seriously. We crack jokes, embrace the weird and celebrate the joy of trying hard without acting like we’re saving the world. It’s real climbers, real energy and zero corporate stiffness.

GROWING WITH CLIMBING

Problem Child is growing with and through the global climbing community by backing the people, places and culture that make the sport what it is. The plan is simple: stay connected, stay present and keep creating gear that reflects real climbers, not marketing fantasies. From partnering with local gyms and youth programs to collaborating with athletes and creators who live the lifestyle, Problem Child is building a worldwide network of movers and misfits who share the same energy. As the community evolves, the brand evolves with it — louder, bolder and always driven by the climbers who wear it.
