Are Asics overrated?

I was just wondering what the hype behind Asics is, when I started to play volleyball at the age of 13, nobody wore Asics besides a friend and me (both of us had gel rocket 10s), 4 years later, almost half the entire girls' roster for each team has Asics shoes as their shoe for volleyball, Sky elite ff 3, etc... It is not like Asics is sponsoring the girls' team also, it was like the entire girls' team just decided to buy Asics shoes. I just could not quite understand why, my experience with Asics was that it was nice for the court feel but bad for the cushion department. I had nasty knee injuries from playing middle with them on, my friend also said the same thing, he plays oppo. The ankle protection is not good either. This could probably lead to almost the entire boys' roster for my team wearing Way of Wade shoes, including me, ac12s, fission 8s, and Wow 10s. I just think that despite my Asics shoe never bottoming out I think there are just a lot more other options that are better than Asics.
