Timberland’s “Delirium” compares buying nature-friendly shoes to a scenario in which a dire-straits castaway is rescued by nature herself. It’s stirring material, particularly if you found a certain film, involving Tom Hanks and a volleyball, emotionally resonant.

Maybe a little heavy for a shoe label, but hey: if we can take a sentimental education from Coke, no harm in getting emo-schooled by Timbo.
