Over the summer, NikeLab dropped a revamped version of the Swoosh's landmark 1972 runner, the Cortez. Updated with an exaggerated outsole pattern, the black colorway of these "Big Tooth" Cortez eventually got the general release treatment and were renamed the Classic Cortez Shark Low. Now, months later, the all-white makeup is set for a widespread launch, too.

This crisp white colorway of the Classic Cortez Shark Low recently popped up at overseas retailers. As far as we can tell, this is the exact same version that NikeLab released over the summer, right down to the black Phylon branding on the medial side and Nike script on the insole.

Chances are, these will follow in the footsteps of the black colorway and see a U.S. release soon, but in just in case you can't wait, they're up for grabs now from retailers like Overkill and Afew for €129.95 ($142).
