You NEVER know.  The limited run in 2013 might've been the bait for 2015.
If I was JB I would.  The demand for the Royals is off the hook right now, and you got resellers making a fortune.

Step 1.  **** the resellers
Step 2.  Make them a GR
Step 3.  Profit

But JB hates me and doesnt want me to have a pair so that wont happen

If I had to guess right now, i'd venture to say that it is unlikely that they would re-release Royals in 2015. Reason being, if the product code for remastered Chicagos ends up being 555088-xxx, which others have said, I don't think they would make a second color code for Royals (currently 555088-085) using the same style code.

seen the allocations list for a big chain store today 

blk and white og and black gums= 360 pairs each for the whole company 

which means 160 -175 for online and 185-200 pairs for 12-15 stores 

their allocations on 1 og's are always very low so this comes to no surprise

Hope it's FinishLine
 
With all the sites releasing this shoe, and the chance to cop in store, if you want a pair you should have no problem getting it with a little work.

Would hate to miss out on either the black/white or the gums, but Im not too worried about it
 
and if you didnt get 2013 royals at retail you will most likely strike out on the remaster

sorry bruh
Honestly last year i wasn't even copping kicks as i did previously, I didn't even know the royals came out until the breds did.

Do you guys think the price of the royals will ever go back down or is it a likely hood that they'll just keep going up?

Guessing this is FNL or SP

Only way I see prices coming back down is if Nike releases remastered Royals. As others have said, it's unlikely anytime soon, so no.
 
Found someone who wants to sell me damn near DS Black Toes for retail.  Been looking for that for some time now.

Its marketing. They probably had the remaster idea for a while. Everyone hopes for all these models but from what ive seen, it looks like the remaster is like one cw per model. Its one thing to release Chicagos with a jumpman then drop og 1s all year like they just decided to change but they dropped an og 1 same day. They didnt really screw up that release. Its the key model. What better to get the best treatment. They did all the others. Start saving and quit hoping if you want any part of the trinity.

I think they are remastering multiple AJ4s and more than one AJ10. I don't think any of the remastered series are full OG colorways though except for the rumored Chicagos, could be wrong though. Who knows, maybe they will remaster an OG colorway for other models before coming back to AJ1 after the Chicagos.
 
I see. I only saw pics of the 10 and 1 4. I would have used the remaster idea similar to how the put out 1 of each sig model in the same cw except do the whole sig run with the key cw per model.
 
Everything starting next January apparently falls under that "remastered" initiative, there just aren't any pics of pairs dropping after like March.

yeah 

you will see the martian 7's samples pop up in the next 2-3 weeks... theres 3 or so diff samples they usually do 2 samples.. from what i have been told they are doing 3 to mess with the grey market to have them guessing initially 
 
I just feel that as far as 1s go, they are done and the only remaster will be the Chicago. Most who grew up starting with the Jordan line would prefer the 1 as close to og as possible and thats pretty much been done with big fanfair. Anything else now would just be a cash grab. I just know being a royal person, i dont expect much. Bred guys get drops all the time in different forms. I get a model every 100 years that ends up being a rare artifact. If i only had 1 pair, i would still be fortunate and not really expect another shot for another 100 years.
 
royals only dropped twice in the past 14 years, i wouldnt be surprised if it falls under the mastered line.

JB is unpredictable
 
Y'all reaching for a Royal remastered release? Lol, I'm no psychic but c'mon y'all. I can see a low OG drop and that's it. They gave the ppl who struck out many opportunities to fill the void: Orlando mids, Lance Mountains, & Sport Blue KOs.
