The 'Dando Vueltas' music video weaves together the rhythms of fútbol and Latino cultural expression. It features Rauw Alejandro wearing "a Buchanan’s tech-enabled fútbol boot." The production was made possible through the support of legendary choreographers Rich+Tone. Overall, the music video celebrates resilience, working-class communities, and the unifying power of sport. Buchanan's also launches an accompanying limited-edition bottle collection, designed with the collective Kids of Immigrants. This capsule pays tribute to the streets and fields where fútbol is lived daily.
