The Magpie is a wearable illustration of movement, instinct, and flight. Created as a collaboration between ADELINE and Atlanta-based artist Love Louise Designs, each pair is individually hand-painted, transforming the shoe into a one-of-a-kind canvas where fashion and fine art intersect.
Inspired by the interpretation of birds in motion as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Hixon, the collection explores the emotional energy of flight through expressive brushwork, layered textures, and fluid composition. No two pairs are ever identical. Each design becomes its own living artwork, capturing a fleeting moment of motion translated directly by hand into form.
The Magpie can exist across a spectrum of colorways and interpretations, allowing each pair to carry its own distinct personality while remaining rooted in themes of curiosity, freedom, elegance, and transformation. The process itself is deeply intimate and intentionally time-intensive. Every brushstroke is applied by hand, requiring precision, collaboration, and an extraordinary level of detail that makes each piece entirely unique to its owner.
With pricing ranging between $1,800 and $2,500 per pair, The Magpie is not simply footwear. It is collectible wearable art, designed for those who value craftsmanship, storytelling, and the rarity of owning something that can never truly be recreated.
