In the long arc of economic recovery, moments of reaffirmation carry their own quiet weight. Wolverine World Wide, the Michigan-based footwear company behind Merrell, Saucony, and Sperry, held firm Monday to its full-year revenue forecast of $2.24 to $2.30 billion — not as a revision, but as a statement of earned confidence. With second-quarter performance poised to surpass pre-pandemic 2019 levels, the company offered something rarer than a forecast: a signal that genuine consumer demand, not mere relief spending, had returned to the footwear market.
