“This time of year even if it doesn't make sense for me, this might trigger the thought of a future gift.”

Never not in style - Converse. I know Converse has done a ton of product expansion over the past few years, but at the end of the day their entire brand ethos is centered around the classic Chuck Taylor shoe. I liked this email because it really brings you back to the basics, using imagery that strongly aligns with this 'back to basics' messaging while promoting original designs. The bottom also shows more of their unique new designs, which I think does a nice job to also showcase these designs to a consumer like myself who only has a purchase history of classic styles. This time of year even if it doesn't make sense for me, this might trigger the thought of a future gift.
