The color of this shoe does not look magenta to me at all. When I look at the shoe it looks more fushia to me. There is a lot more purple in it than pink.  My favorite color is magenta and I was very excited to get this shoe but was disappointed when it arrived looking more fushia. Look for yourself at the picture I have uploaded and judge for yourself what color you see. These are also a thick canvas more than my other All Star Chuck Taylor's I own. Seem to fit a little on the snug side too. Not to badly or anything but noticable when I wore these for a good portion of the day and then switched to another pair. The differences we're noticable.
