The Vans® brand has launched a Vans Hub app, available for free immediate download for iPhones at the iTunes store as well as for Android OS phones.  The Vans Hub is a news aggregator app that enables consumers to join the inside conversation with Vans' numerous bloggers while gathering Vans' skate, surf, snow, girls' collection and music news, along with Twitter, Flickr and YouTube streams, in one location. The app gives users the chance to be the first to share info and opinions about new products, events, special offers and whatever is going on in and around Vans® culture.

"It's evident that Vans' consumers not only crave entertainment and information at their fingertips and on the go, but they're also engaging with their favorite brands as never before," said Doug Palladini, Vans' Vice President of Marketing. "Vans is committed to leadership in technology that makes it possible for interaction with consumers in unique, meaningful ways."

The Vans Hub joins the growing collection of Vans® mobile apps. The brand released Vans Sk8: Pool Service, a 3-D skate game featuring Vans® skaters, early last year and followed that up with the Vans Warped Tour Official App, which lets fans keep up-to-date with the latest Tour happenings.  In late 2009, Vans also introduced the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing App, marking the first live mobile webcast application for any action sports event available to surf enthusiasts.
