Roger Federer proudly reveals his twin boys are taking after him with a new-found interest in Swiss' massive sneaker collection

Roger Federer recently stated how his twin boys, Leo and Lennart (Lenny), have taken a liking to sneakers, just like the Swiss Maestro. He also proudly talked about his sneaker collection.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion is a self-proclaimed sneakerhead with a collection filling multiple cupboards. He recently appeared on Complex's YouTube channel to talk about his love for sneakers.

Federer also talked about how his twin sons have started to take an interest in his sneakers collection. The 43-year-old added that he narrated his whole journey through his shoes.

"My boys are, we have twin boys and twin girls, and the boys are ten now. I don’t know one of the boys was in a bad mood, you like, the other week, and for some reason, I wanted to talk to him quickly and I took to this space where actually all my shoes are lined up," the Swiss legend said. [2:52]

"Behind the door, so at one point, I thought like let me show him the collection and he started to ask me all these questions, ‘What is this shoe, what is that shoe, where does this come from, why is that one so gold, oh my god you have a football shoe as well’. I was taking him through this whole journey of shoes that I had."

Federer also stated that his sons are developing a love for shoes. However, he added that they wore shoes picked out by him.

"Well yes, actually the boys are getting into it. They are not asking me for many shoes, I am still deciding what they wear so it’s all good," he said.
