	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Nature of Operations
	Wolverine World Wide, Inc. is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of quality casual footwear, apparel and accessories; performance outdoor and athletic footwear and apparel; children’s footwear; industrial work shoes, boots and apparel; and uniform shoes and boots. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates®, Cat® Footwear, Chaco®, Cushe®, Harley-Davidson® Footwear, Hush Puppies®, HyTest®, Keds®, Merrell®, Saucony®, Sebago®, Soft Style®, Sperry Top-Sider®, Stride Rite® and Wolverine®. Licensing and distribution arrangements with third parties extend the global reach of the Company’s brand portfolio. The Company also operates a consumer-direct division to market both its own brands and branded footwear and apparel from other manufacturers, as well as a leathers division that markets Wolverine Performance Leathers™.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated from licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or sale of branded products by licensees and distributors. Retail store revenue is recognized at time of sale.
	The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or lower than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made.
	Cost of Goods Sold
	Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses with the exception of certain consumer-direct warehousing costs that are included in cost of goods sold.
	Seasonality
	The Company’s business is subject to seasonal influences and the Company’s fiscal year has 12 weeks in each of the first three fiscal quarters and, depending on the fiscal calendar, 16 or 17 weeks in the fourth fiscal quarter. Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in previous years.

	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”) which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disclosures about the disposal of a significant component of an entity that does not qualify as a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, and the adoption did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) which updates the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures.
	In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing stock-based compensation plans.
	In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires that an entity’s management evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its quarterly reporting process.

Earnings Per Share	'
	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
	On July 11, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend that was paid on November 1, 2013 to stockholders of record on October 1, 2013. On April 24, 2014, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock from 160,000,000 shares to 320,000,000 shares. All share and per share data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been presented to reflect the split and increase in authorized shares.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

	Capital lease obligation	0.7		—		—
	Total debt	$	1,096.60	$	1,150.00	$	1,142.10
	The Company’s credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) originally provided the Company with two term loans (a “Term Loan A Facility” and a “Term Loan B Facility”) and a revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”). On October 10, 2013, the Company amended its Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) resulting in the payoff of the Term Loan B Facility while establishing a principal balance of $775.0 million for the Term Loan A Facility. The Amendment provided for a lower effective interest rate on the term loan debt, and a one-year extension on both the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, both of which are now due October 10, 2018. In addition, the Amendment provided for increased maximum debt capacity (including outstanding term loan principal and Revolving Credit Facility commitment amounts in addition to permitted incremental debt) not to exceed $1,350.0 million.
	The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility and to U.S. dollar denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 0.375% to 1.25%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 1.375% to 2.25% (all capitalized terms used in this sentence are as defined in the Credit Agreement). As required by the Credit Agreement, the Company has an interest rate swap arrangement that reduces the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt.
	The Revolving Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $200.0 million and includes a $100.0 million foreign currency subfacility under which borrowings may be made, subject to certain conditions, in Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros, Hong Kong dollars, Swedish kronor, Swiss francs and such additional currencies as are determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $50.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility.
	The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility of $3.3 million, $3.5 million and $3.1 million as of September 6, 2014, December 28, 2013 and September 7, 2013, respectively. These outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.
	The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
	The Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the Credit Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio; a maximum Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio; and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph are as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 6, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and performance ratios under the Credit Agreement.
	The Company has outstanding a total of $375.0 million in senior notes that may be traded in the public market (the “Public Bonds”) which are due on October 15, 2020. The Public Bonds bear interest at 6.125% with the related interest payments due semi-annually. The Public Bonds are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
	During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a capital lease obligation. The lease commenced during June 2014 and payments are scheduled to continue through February 2022.
	The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $1.0 million and $2.9 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014, respectively. The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2013, respectively.
	Cash flows from operating activities, along with borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs for the foreseeable future. Any excess cash flows from operating activities are expected to be used to reduce debt, fund internal and external growth initiatives, purchase property, plant and equipment, pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s common stock.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management	'
	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1:		Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2:		Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.
	Level 3:		Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
	The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, an interest rate swap arrangement, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and long-term debt. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates fair value, except for the interest rate swap and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value. The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, are as follows:
	(In millions)	September 6, 2014		December 28, 2013		September 7, 2013
	Carrying value	$	1,095.90	$	1,150.00	$	1,142.10
	Fair value	1,135.30		1,183.80		1,159.70
	The fair value of the fixed rate debt was based on third-party quotes (Level 2). The fair value of the variable rate debt was calculated by discounting the future cash flows to its present value using a discount rate based on the risk-free rate of the same maturity (Level 3).
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business.
	The Company has one interest rate swap arrangement which exchanges floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. This derivative instrument, which, unless otherwise terminated, will mature on October 6, 2017, has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the debt. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap arrangement are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
	The notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments are as follows:
		September 6, 2014		December 28, 2013		September 7, 2013
	Foreign exchange contracts:
	Notional amount (in millions)	$	116.8	$	129.1	$	96
	Maturities (in days)	336		364		336
	Interest rate swap:
	Notional amount (in millions)	$	422.4	$	455.5	$	462.2
	The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy.
		Fair Value Measurements
		Quoted Prices With Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
	(In millions)	September 6, 2014		December 28, 2013		September 7, 2013
	Financial assets:
	Foreign exchange contracts asset	$	4.5	$	1.7	$	—
	Interest rate swap asset	0.4		0.9		4.7
	Financial liabilities:
	Foreign exchange contracts liability	0.1		2.3		0.2
	The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the hypothetical derivative method. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported within the Cost of goods sold line item in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013. If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined to be ineffective hedges or terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts related to the cash flow hedges that are currently included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.
	The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap arrangement is recognized as interest expense. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assessed at the hedge’s inception, and continues to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effective portion of unrealized gains (losses) is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognized compensation expense of $5.9 million and $17.1 million, and related income tax benefits of $1.8 million and $5.4 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014, respectively.
	The Company recognized compensation expense of $7.4 million and $21.1 million, and related income tax benefits of $2.6 million and $7.1 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2013, respectively.
	Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
	The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated weighted average fair value for each option granted during the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013 was $6.21 and $5.22, respectively, with the following weighted average assumptions:
		36 Weeks Ended

	Expected market price volatility (1)	29.6	%	33.3	%
	Risk-free interest rate (2)	1.2	%	0.6	%
	Dividend yield (3)	0.9	%	1.2	%
	Expected term (4)	4 years		4 years
	(1)	Based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over the four years prior to the grant.
	(2)	Represents the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant.
	(3)	Represents the Company’s cash dividend yield for the expected term.
	(4)	Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. As part of the determination of the expected term, the Company concluded that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.
	The Company issued 241,965 and 237,526 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants made and the exercise of stock options during the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, respectively. During the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, the Company canceled 87,090 and 59,748 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures.
	The Company issued 1,601,989 and 2,142,090 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants made and the exercise of stock options during the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, respectively. During the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, the Company canceled 369,612 and 171,388 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures.

Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	The Company maintains certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asia Pacific subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in other foreign jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax. The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes for earnings generated in foreign jurisdictions because it plans to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. However, if certain foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the additional U.S. tax liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s after-tax results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
	The Company’s effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013 was 25.7% and 25.9%, respectively. For the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate was 27.1% and 24.2%, respectively.
	The lower effective tax rate in the prior year-to-date period reflects the benefit from the deductibility of higher acquisition-related integration costs in high statutory tax rate jurisdictions and the benefit of a retroactive reinstatement of the research and development federal tax credit for 2012 and extension of the credit through 2013. The research and development federal tax credit has now expired and is not available for 2014.
	The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements.
	For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

	LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
	The Company is involved in various environmental claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The environmental claims include sites where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has notified the Company that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental remediation. These remediation claims are subject to ongoing environmental impact studies, assessment of remediation alternatives, allocation of costs between responsible parties and concurrence by regulatory authorities and have not yet advanced to a stage where the Company’s liability is fixed. However, after taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of all actions and claims against the Company, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	The Company is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment and intellectual property. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these items will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	The Company has future minimum royalty and advertising obligations due under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company. These minimum future obligations are as follows:
	(In millions)	2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter

	Minimum advertising	2.1		8.7		2.7		2.8		2.9		9.3
	Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the Consumer Price Index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, respectively. For the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, the Company incurred royalty expense, in accordance with these agreements, of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
	The terms of certain license agreements also require the Company to make advertising expenditures based on the level of sales of the licensed products. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred advertising expense of $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, respectively. For the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014 and September 7, 2013, the Company incurred advertising expense, in accordance with these agreements, of $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

	BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
	On October 9, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of PLG as well as certain other assets. Consideration paid to acquire PLG was approximately $1,249.5 million in cash. PLG marketed casual and athletic footwear, apparel and related accessories for adults and children under well-known brand names including Sperry Top-Sider®, Saucony®, Stride Rite® and Keds®. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The related assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results for PLG are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning October 9, 2012.
	The Company funded the transaction using a combination of approximately $88.8 million of cash on hand and new borrowings. The Company’s debt financing included net proceeds from the term loan debt associated with the Credit Agreement and net proceeds from the Public Bonds.
	For the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2014, the Company incurred $2.3 million of acquisition-related integration costs. These costs include compensation expenses ($1.1 million) and other integration costs ($1.2 million). For the 12 weeks ended September 7, 2013, the Company incurred $7.4 million of acquisition-related integration costs. These costs include compensation expense ($4.6 million), other purchased services ($2.5 million) and professional and legal fees ($0.3 million).
	For the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014, the Company incurred $6.4 million of acquisition-related integration costs. These costs include compensation expenses ($3.0 million) and other integration costs ($3.4 million). For the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2013, the Company incurred $30.5 million of acquisition-related integration costs. These costs include compensation expense ($20.3 million), other purchased services ($6.2 million), amortization related to short-lived intangible assets ($2.4 million), and professional and legal fees ($1.6 million).
	The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the PLG acquisition.
	(In millions)
	Cash	$	23.6
	Accounts receivable	151.2
	Inventories	203.5
	Deferred income taxes	13.6
	Other current assets	13.2
	Property, plant and equipment	77.1

	Total assets acquired	1,724.00
	Accounts payable	97.4
	Other accrued liabilities	42.2
	Deferred income taxes	287.2
	Accrued pension liabilities	37.7
	Other liabilities	10
	Total liabilities assumed	474.5
	Net assets acquired	$	1,249.50
	The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $408.8 million was recorded as goodwill in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and has been assigned to the Performance Group and Lifestyle Group reportable operating segments as follows:
	(In millions)
	Performance Group	$	82.5
	Lifestyle Group	326.3
	Total	$	408.8
	The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of PLG. Substantially all of the goodwill is not amortizable for income tax purposes.
	Intangible assets acquired in the PLG acquisition were valued as follows:
	(In millions)	Intangible asset		Useful life
	Trade names and trademarks	$	671.8	Indefinite
	Customer lists	100.5		3-20 years
	Licensing agreements	28.8		4-5 years
	Developed product technology	14.9		3-5 years
	Backlog	5.2		6 months
	Net favorable leases	0.6		10 years
	Total intangible assets acquired	$	821.8
	The Company assigned fair values to the identifiable intangible assets through a combination of the relief from royalty and the excess earnings methods.
	At the time of the acquisition, a step-up in the value of inventory of $4.0 million was recorded in the allocation of the purchase price based on valuation estimates, all of which was charged to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as the inventory was deemed sold. In addition, fixed assets were written up by approximately $18.8 million to their estimated fair market value based on a valuation method that included both cost and market approaches. This additional step-up in value is being depreciated over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets.

	On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a realignment of the Company’s consumer-direct operations (the “2014 Plan”). As a part of the 2014 Plan, the Company intends to close up to 140 retail stores by the end of 2015, consolidate certain consumer-direct support functions and implement certain other organizational changes. The Company estimates pretax charges related to the 2014 Plan will range from $26.6 million to $32.0 million. The Company will record these charges in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015 as it executes specific components of the 2014 Plan. Approximately $9.6 million to $11.6 million of this estimate represents non-cash charges. Once fully implemented, the Company expects annual pretax benefits of approximately $11.0 million as a result of the 2014 Plan.
	The following is a summary of the activity with respect to a reserve established by the Company in connection with the 2014 Plan, by category of costs.

	As part of the 2014 Plan, property and equipment related to retail stores was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs. The following is a summary of the fair value of the assets and the impairment recognized during the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014.
	(In millions)	Fair Value			Impairment
	Property and equipment	$	0.6		$	5
	The property and equipment was valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows of the associated retail store locations (Level 3).
	In addition to the amounts recorded under the 2014 Plan, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of an equity method investment, reserved certain receivables within the Company’s international operations and recorded other exit costs totaling $4.0 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.
	The Company recorded the costs related to the 2014 restructuring activities within its Corporate category included in the Restructuring costs line item as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income.
	2013 Restructuring Activities
	On October 4, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to restructure the Company’s Dominican Republic manufacturing operations in a manner intended to lower the Company’s cost of goods sold, as described below (the “2013 Plan”). During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company sold a manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic and closed a second manufacturing facility. The Company no longer maintains any Company-owned manufacturing operations in the Dominican Republic. The Company recognized $7.6 million of restructuring costs in fiscal 2013 and restructuring costs of $0.6 million for the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014. The Company does not expect to recognize any further significant costs for the 2013 Plan. All costs incurred have been recognized in the Company’s Corporate category and are included in the Restructuring costs line item as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income.
	The following is a summary of the activity with respect to a reserve established by the Company in connection with the 2013 Plan, by category of costs.

Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated from licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or sale of branded products by licensees and distributors. Retail store revenue is recognized at time of sale.
	The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or lower than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made.
Cost of Goods Sold	'
	Cost of Goods Sold
	Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses with the exception of certain consumer-direct warehousing costs that are included in cost of goods sold.
Seasonality	'
	Seasonality
	The Company’s business is subject to seasonal influences and the Company’s fiscal year has 12 weeks in each of the first three fiscal quarters and, depending on the fiscal calendar, 16 or 17 weeks in the fourth fiscal quarter. Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in previous years.

Earnings_Per_Share_Policies

Earnings Per Share (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share	'
	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures	'
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1:	Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2:	Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.
	Level 3:	Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Derivatives and Hedging	'
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business.

StockBased_Compensation_Polici

Stock-Based Compensation (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Stock Based Compensation Policy	'
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognized compensation expense of $5.9 million and $17.1 million, and related income tax benefits of $1.8 million and $5.4 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 6, 2014, respectively.
	The Company recognized compensation expense of $7.4 million and $21.1 million, and related income tax benefits of $2.6 million and $7.1 million, for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2013, respectively.
	Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
	The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
