“VANS LAUNCHES OFF THE WALL TV APP FOR IPAD

Cypress, CA (October 4, 2011) – Vans today announced the debut of the free Off the Wall TV iPad
app, delivering Vans’ offthewall.tv video network of exclusive, original action sports, music, art and
street culture programming to millions of iPad users around the world now able to enjoy offthewall.tv
anywhere with this easy to use app.

Offthewall.tv, the first network of its kind in the apparel and action sports industries, launched less
than a year ago and has already attracted millions of viewers who watch shows about Vans® skate and
surf personalities, artists, musicians and designers that premiere each week. The Off the Wall TV app,
developed by U-Dox International Creative Agency and available on iTunes, allows users to subscribe to
their favorite shows to receive push notifications of new episodes, plus easily share their favorites via
Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.

Mirroring a traditional television network, but operating exclusively online, offthewall.tv includes
original shows debuting weekly, as well as content from Vans’ vast archives of skate, surf, snow, BMX,
wakeboarding and motocross programs. Offthewall.tv programs also highlight top events from the
Vans Triple Crown of Surfing to the Vans Warped Tour, along with special releases such as the first-ever
Vans surf film, Get-N Classic .
