The sharklet aircraft do not go into direct law with gear down. They stay in "alternate" law which is actually normal law in this case. Compare the FCOM side by side for a non sharklet and a sharklet aircraft, FCOM-PRO-ABN-22-AUTO FLT YAW DAMPER SYS. The sharklet aircraft omit the line WHEN L/G DN: DIRECT LAW.
