i've had a couple pairs of both colorway 99 4's. i had a DS pair that was cracking badly by itself. my other 2 VNDS pairs were firm and strong. one ofthem had cloudy air bubbles yet it showed no signs of cracking.
bubbles dont mean anything. i turned them clear using a hairdryer. one way you can test it is by using your nail. find a test area that is not gonna be veryvisible on the midsole. push in with your nail and see if it leaves a mark. if it does chances are the shoe will fall apart. also gently push down on themidsole. if it feels springly and hard to push in then you can try them on around your room gently and see if it holds up. if it doesn't pass these teststhen you have no chance of wearing them.
since you're buying them DS, i would say you have 2/3 chance of them falling apart. i would buy a pair that was worn vnds and check to see if it holds up.they have the best chance of survival since they were worn a few times at least.
