Foot Locker results for the company's Q1 have been released. For the quarter, sales amounted to $1.64 billion, up from the $1.58 billion in the same period the previous year. Net income was also higher, coming in at $138 million ($0.90 per diluted share), from Q1 2012's figure of $128 million ($0.83).
