Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a multi-year global productivity initiative, “Project Fuel”, designed to accelerate the execution of our Brand Led and DTC First strategies while fueling long-term profitable growth. The first phase of the global productivity initiative was completed primarily in the first half of 2024. The two-year initiative is expected to continue through the end of 2025. As this initiative progresses, the Company may incur additional restructuring charges, which could be significant to a future fiscal quarter or year.
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $8.6 million and $22.1 million, respectively, in connection with Project Fuel, consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefits, based on separation benefits provided by Company policy or statutory benefit plans as well as contract termination costs and asset impairments partially offset by a gain on the sale of a previously closed distribution center. These charges were recorded in “Restructuring charges, net” in the consolidated statements of income. As of August 31, 2025, the restructuring liability was $81.7 million, with $64.7 million and $17.0 million classified as “Other accrued liabilities” and “Long-term employee related benefits and other liabilities”, respectively, within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The Company also recognized $4.3 million and $11.8 million of restructuring related charges during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2025, respectively, primarily consisting of consulting costs, distribution center transition costs, and employee one-time incentives, which were recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.
For the three and nine months ended August 25, 2024, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $3.4 million and $171.6 million, respectively, consisting primarily of severance and other post-employment benefits, based on separation benefits provided by Company policy or statutory benefit plans. These charges were recorded in “Restructuring charges, net” in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company also recognized $19.0 million and $34.3 million of restructuring related charges during the three and nine months ended August 25, 2024, respectively, consisting primarily of consulting fees which were recorded in “Selling general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 related to capitalized internal-use software as a result of the decision to discontinue certain technology projects in connection with Project Fuel which was recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.

"Net Charges (Reversals)" represents the initial charge related to the restructuring activity as well as revisions of estimates related to severance and employee-related benefits and other, "Payments" consists of cash payments for severance and employee-related benefits and other, and "Foreign Currency Fluctuations" includes foreign currency fluctuations.
