Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 and of the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale or is disposed of by other than by sale. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The core principle of this amendment 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 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption not permitted. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	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 affects entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require 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, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company announced a plan to shut down its e-commerce skate business, CCS.com, and transition customers to its Eastbay brand. The CCS digital site will continue to operate during the third quarter to liquidate the remaining inventory, at which point customers will be directed to eastbay.com, which carries many of the same products. This closure does not meet the definition of a discontinued operation as it is not considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on operations. In connection with this announcement, an  impairment charge of $2 million was recorded to write down the value of the CCS tradename.

Segment Information	'
	3. Segment Information
	The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting. As of August 2, 2014, the Company has two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is division profit. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest expense. Sales and division profit for the Company’s reportable segments for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 are presented below.

	4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Annually during the first quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, the Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment. The annual review of goodwill performed during the first quarter of 2014 did not result in impairment charges as the fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeded its carrying value. During the second quarter of 2014, in connection with the shutdown of the CCS e-commerce business, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2 million to write down the value of the CCS tradename. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1 million to fully write down the remaining value of the tradename related to the Company’s stores in the Republic of Ireland, reflecting historical and projected underperformance.
	The balances as of August 3, 2013 have been retrospectively adjusted for the finalization of the allocation of the purchase price related to the Runners Point acquisition. Identified intangible assets were adjusted to fair value offset by a decrease in goodwill. Other adjustments to the prior year balances were not significant and therefore not were not retrospectively adjusted.
	The following table provides a summary of goodwill by reportable segment:
			August 2,		August 3,		February 1,

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
	6. Financial Instruments
	The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third-party and intercompany forecasted transactions. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a practice of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument. Additional information is contained within Note 7, Fair Value Measurements.
	Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges
	For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction would occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.
	The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The effective portion of gains or losses associated with other forward contracts is deferred as a component of AOCL until the underlying transaction is reported in earnings. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value of the contract from the assessment of effectiveness. At each quarter-end, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in AOCL to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months.
	The net change in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory was a $1 million loss for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014, and was not significant for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. For the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, the net change resulted in a gain of $1 million and was not significant for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013.
	The notional value of the contracts outstanding at August 2, 2014 was $71 million, and these contracts extend through July 2015.
	Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges
	The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts that are not designated as hedges in order to manage the costs of foreign currency-denominated merchandise purchases and intercompany transactions. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are recorded in earnings immediately within selling, general and administrative expenses. The net change in fair value resulted in $1 million of income for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and was not significant for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014. The net change in fair value was not significant for the prior-year period. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at August 2, 2014 was $18 million and these contracts extend through December 2014.
	The Company mitigates the effect of fluctuating foreign exchange rates on the reporting of foreign-currency denominated earnings by entering into currency option contracts. Changes in the fair value of these foreign currency option contracts, which are designated as non-hedges, are recorded in earnings immediately within other income. The realized gains, premiums paid, and changes in the fair market value recorded were not significant for any of the periods presented.
	The notional value of the contract outstanding at August 2, 2014 was $26 million and this contract extends through October 2014.
	Fair Value of Derivative Contracts
	The following represents the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts. Many of the Company’s agreements allow for a netting arrangement. The following is presented on a gross basis, by type of contract:

	7. Fair Value Measurements
	The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
	Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
	The following tables provide a summary of the Company’s recognized assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, unless unrealized losses are determined to be other than temporary.
	The Company’s short-term investments matured during the second quarter of 2014. In the prior periods presented, these investments represented corporate bonds with maturity dates within one year from the purchase date. These securities were valued using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers were observable in active markets and therefore were classified as Level 2 instruments.
	The fair value of the auction rate security is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.
	The Company’s derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.
	There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities for any of the periods presented.
	The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases were as follows:
		August 2,		August 3,		February 1,
	(in millions)	2014		2013		2014
	Carrying value	$	137	$	141	$	139
	Fair value	$	163	$	165	$	159
	The fair value of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore is classified as Level 2.
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share	'
	8. Earnings Per Share
	The Company accounts for and discloses earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.
	The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
		Thirteen weeks ended				Twenty-six weeks ended
		August 2,		August 3,		August 2,		August 3,
	(in millions)	2014		2013		2014		2013
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding		144.5		149.5		145		149.9
	Effect of Dilution:
	Stock options and awards		1.9		1.9		2		2.2
	Weighted-average common shares assuming dilution		146.4		151.4		147		152.1
	Options to purchase 0.8 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. Options to purchase 0.5 million and 0.8 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. These options were not included because the effect would have been antidilutive. Contingently issuable shares of 0.4 million have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied as of both August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013.

	9. Pension and Postretirement Plans
	The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its North American employees, which are funded in accordance with the provisions of the laws where the plans are in effect. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans, which are available to most of its retired U.S. employees. These medical and life insurance plans are contributory and are not funded.
	The following are the components of net periodic pension benefit cost and net periodic postretirement benefit income, which is recognized as part of SG&A expense:

	During the first quarters of both 2014 and 2013, the Company made contributions of $2 million to the Canadian qualified plan. No pension contributions to the U.S. qualified plan were made during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013. The Company continually evaluates the amount and timing of any future contributions. Additional contributions will depend on the plan asset performance and other factors.

Share-Based Compensation	'
	10. Share-Based Compensation
	On June 19, 2014, the Foot Locker 2007 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for all awards to 14 million shares.
	Total compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans was $6 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014, $5 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2013, and was $12 million and $13 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The associated tax benefits recognized for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 were $2 million and $3 million, respectively. The associated tax benefit recognized was $4 million for both the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013.
	Tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for share-based compensation arrangements were $9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and $7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2013 and are classified as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Valuation Model and Assumptions
	The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.
	The following table shows the Company’s assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense:
		Stock Option Plans								Stock Purchase Plan

Restricted Stock and Units
Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and restricted stock units may be awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. Awards made to executives outside of the United States and to nonemployee directors are made in the form of restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock provided that the vesting conditions are satisfied. There were 742,514 and 1,008,542 restricted stock units outstanding as of August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 respectively.
Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, restricted stock unit grants made in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive program vest after the attainment of certain performance metrics and the passage of time. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights. Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vest with the passage of time; for performance-based restricted stock, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met. No dividends are paid on restricted stock units.
Compensation expense is recognized using the fair market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, net of forfeitures, of $3 million and $2 million for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, and $6 million and $7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. As of August 2, 2014, there was $16 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted awards.
Restricted shares and units activity for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 is summarized as follows:
	Number of Shares and Units
(in thousands)	August 2, 2014			August 3, 2013
Outstanding at beginning of period		1,369			1,564
Granted		320			440
Vested		-649			-639
Cancelled or forfeited		-33			-12
Outstanding at end of period		1,007			1,353
Aggregate value (in millions)	$	37		$	36
Weighted-average remaining contractual life		1.57 years			1.33 years
The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share was $45.24 and $34.59 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively. The total value of awards for which restrictions lapsed during the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 was $14 million and $9 million, respectively.

	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 and of the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale or is disposed of by other than by sale. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The core principle of this amendment 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 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption not permitted. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	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 affects entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require 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, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
