J Crew used Ludlow tuxedo oxfords in patent leather BS550

This Ludlow oxford is our version of a bench-made dress shoe constructed... - using the same methods as some of the world's best shoemakers. Our designers spared no detail on this classic tux pair, crafting them in a high-gloss patent leather that serves as the foundation of any black-tie Ludlow look. Plus, because they're carefully lined with supple leather, this pair will only get more comfortable the more you wear them. Fun fact: Patent leather gets its high-gloss look through the application of multiple layers of lacquer to the leather and though it is known mainly for its shine, the patent process also gives it some light waterproof qualities.
